hoop house

Have some mixed feelings on this, we'll see and report in a year or two  but regardless it is up, completed in the fall. It's generally about 20 degrees warmer in there when the sun is not shining, when the sun is out it's quite warm, warm enough to bend a candle and this was in the cold winter months. We had a very cold winter with temps below zero a number of times. It's past mid March now and winter seems to be reluctant to leave us. The ground is still quite frozen, in years past we have planted potatoes by this time and sugar snap peas too. We have our work cut out for us with the hoop house and still have lots to figure out but hopefully we'll be rewarded with some season extension and lots of great veggies
