Hoop House

It was a cool spring.  The plants loved being warm and humid inside.  They really took off and were bigger, yielded product sooner, and had a longer life span than other unprotected gardens in the neighborhood.

At some point, the tomato plants get too big for the roof and the plastic has to come down.  Usually by this time it’s warm, it’s time.
