testing

The last couple of springs we have started seeds without using electric lights or heat. Inside the hoop house, in a protected spot.

This year the idea is being tested outside the hoop house, to see if it will work without the shelter.

Frame and cover were constructed. 

And moved to the selected spot. 

Holes dug, growing medium added, trays for planting set into place. 

And a high/low inside/outside temperature gauge was added. 

Seeds have been added. Of the 

varities that don't mind the cold and sometimes overcast weather of January. And now we wait and see the results and make modifications if needed.
