I decided to take a half day of vacation and go crappie fishing in the morning yesterday. I was so focused on getting to the boat launch , which is only 5 minutes away, I forgot something VERY important.

Yep, I never opened the two hoop houses that have plants. I did not even think about the hoops until 1:45 pm ! Did I mention it was in the low 80's with full sun.

When I made the 5 minute drive home, I did not even pull the van in the driveway, I left it on the road and ran to open the two hoops.
It was at least 120 degrees in the hoops, but to my amazement, the plants looked ok.

I had all of my giant tomatoes in pots, and 6 ag pumps in pots.
What saved me was that I had watered very well the prior day and the ground was very moist still.

That was a close one.
