This picture was taken today of some of the lettuces growing in the hoophouse at the farm.I decided to experiment and followed Elliot Coleman's recommendation of using a basic plastic hoophouse with row cover inside the hoophouse directly over the lettuces - a double barrier against the elements. What is truly amazing is that this year we have had a really hard Winter already with zub-zero temperatures for almost a month. I don't think I would have even considered attempting to overwinter lettuces if I had anticipated this weather. Even more amazing is that these plants have survived after the hoophouse collapsed on top of them too (see previous post)!
Maybe they will make it?!
