80 Degrees in the Frozen Midwest

This is a small low tunnel type green house that I planted and covered on the 19th of January. It was 34 degrees out this afternoon according to the weather app on my phone, but it was beautiful and sunny so I decided to find out just what kind of heat it was producing.


Took a  probe style thermometer out and poked it through the plastic.


80 degrees! 46 degrees difference! Isn't that amazing? 



We haven't had to many sunny days around here lately, but I decided to poke my head in and see if anything was up anyway. There's a couple of little volunteer garlic shoots coming up. The lettuce and chard won't be to far behind. It's supposed to be sunny the rest of the week. We might very well be looking at a bed of green by the end of the week!

I've got a friend in Hamilton (about 15 miles south of here) that says she's got robins in her yard. Spring isn't to far away!


God Bless You All!
