The 3 hoop houses that I put up on Friday the 13th were blown down on Saturday the 14tk. But now on Sunday the 15th, there is enough snow on the ground to make the hill down to the garden unsafe to walk. And more snow is coming, we are under winter weather advisory. So maybe by Tuesday 17th it will melt off so I can get them rebuilt, and the other hoop houses finished. Just in time for the cold rain due on Wednesday the 18th. I can't get heat cable that far from the house and in a flood plain. I depend on nature warming the soil. A few years ago I lost some plants that I set out when it was too cold and I don't want to do that again. I may start the plants around my usual starting time, April 22. But I have 2 gallon plastic pots to transfer them into once they outgrow the peat pots. They will be kept on the deck until the soil is warm enough for a safe transplant.
