...If I hadnt done anything, the plants would be 75% dead right now. Instead, they are 95% alive. The idea that I could gain an extra week of growing season seems to be exactly what will happen...
I'll leave it at that. Oh but... barrels of compost and/or hoop structures are good for helping get the heavy plastic onto the plants without bulldozing the leaves down. A thinner plastic or some other lightweight material would be preferable, but I wanted to see if the thick plastic I already have would work. It can. Granted, a double layer of very thin plastic would be the goldilocks solution! (The fall nights with hard frost never have any wind.)
Ugh... I knew it would be a long post!!!
