Six inch wire mesh comes in handy for making quick hoop houses of any size. Cover comes off at noon and goes back on in the evening held in place with 2 x 4s. Covering some young lettuce rows. Despite 3 nights last week with night time temps falling into the upper twenties the lettuce survived just fine with no heat source. Around the 10th of June I will remove completely for the remainder of summer. On the right clear visqueen covers carrot seeds. The clear visqueen allows the suns rays through heating the soil and helps retain the heat and moisture. If I don't use this proceedure germination of the carrot seeds can be cut in half. As soon as seedlings are up visqueen comes off for the season.
