Hey Curt, no heat in the high tunnel, just solar from the daytime sun... But I have been using walls o water and row covers inside the HT and it's been giving me about 6-8 degrees above the over night HT low temps... Which so far has been about enough to keep things from freezing... Only problem was one night it wasn't supposed to be very cold, so I didn't cover my tomatoes that I had set out in the HT to get some sun and it hit 23 that night so I lost 65 tomatoes for being lazy. Got down to 26 in HT...
Doesnt look like my beets will make it by the 11th they are about quarter size now.... Cabbage will probably need a little more time as well, but it's looking good... I do have a zucchini plant with small buds that I hope to get some early squash, but most of it will just be a little earlier than the outside stuff... Well I haven't planted the outside stuff yet, so might be a while earlier... Still a few more days of cold mornings predicted up here, but I expect I can start planting corn soon and follow that up with some squash and tomatoes... Hope your garden is going well? Later Jeff

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
