Amen to that Sandy. It was doing quite well yesterday. +80 in the hoop houses (raised beds with covers). Then last night a frost hit and it is 27F this morning. Crapdoodle. I read about you guys growing cold weather plants like cabbage, broc's in your cold frames and hoop houses and wonder that I couldn't put my broc's, bok choy out in the houses but I can't see they would survive at night. Course, the ground in the beds is frozen about 1" down yet. I opened one end of one bed to get sun on the garlic which I fear has frozen and left it open all night. I think being in a raised bed, snow never make it to the top of the beds (last year there was at least a foot of snow on top of the beds) and only a light mulch on top of the toes was too much for them. Oh well, I will know better next year. Plant deeper, more mulch. They had begun to grow last fall I surmise as many that jacked from the ground had short roots on them. I thought they were growing this year but don't think so now.
