Plastic Is Up

The plastic was put up on March 3rd, 2021 so as of this image it has been up for nine days. Since this was a calm day in the afternoon by time it was up there was no opportunity for pictures, and it did not look much different than it does in this image.

The goal was to start the soil heating process early. While the soil was still frozen in some places since everything was prepared in the fall only one long edge of the big plastic piece was only partially buried and is held down with boards. All other sides were already buried and clips hold the plastic in position.

Overall, things are going to plan with a few weather-related delays but nothing that is not to be expected.
