Another nice day in the low 50's.. Nice little micro climate in the patch drives it up higher still. Again manual labor with dirty hands that are shovel encrusted. Only a few more days of turmoil on the edging. I like to do this by hand exercise and its pretty easy in a small patch to keep ahead of the cores.

The East planting site is completed and awaits its hoop house. Installed approx. 6 feet of 3" perforated and screen protected sub drainage tile 18" deep under the AG plant bed with two vertical riser pipes 36" apart, poking above the surface on each side of the plant location. Plan is to use temp monitoring and force heat the sub air chambers. Blowing warm air using USB fans may make an early difference.
