TobyD Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 QUOTE (orko @ Apr 18 2008, 02:10 PM) It's still snowing in Seattle... Yeah, and I got ambitious and planted my tomatoes last weekend when it got over 75°C. I spent yesterday evening spreading a large sheet of clear plastic over all the tomato cages and shoveling dirt around the edges to weight it down and create a little greenhouse. Hopefully that will keep them warm enough... Quote Link to comment
AnalogKid2DigitalMan Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Use strings of 7W Xmas lights around the plants if available to keep them warm. Use throw in a temperature probe, fan, and LabVIEW for a closed loop control. I have the opposite issue- I'm almost ready to start picking, hopefully the 100+ degree days stay away long enough so the pollen doesn't get killed and make it a short harvest. Toby- 75C? Ouch, make that baked green tomatoes Quote Link to comment
