This is how you deal with the cold. Heated hoop house inside a greenhouse. Tomatoes and one test pumpkin plant already in the greenhouse complete with ice floor. 1500 watt heater inside of hoophouse is blowing into ductwork which is in turn run around the outside of plants ending with the ductwork blowing onto a 5 gallon bucket of water. Helps retain heat and counter the drying effects of the heater. Temperature stays around 90 degrees during the day and dropping to the mid 50s to low 60s at night.
