It is a sad morning to go to the greenhouse and find out the backup heater went out. 5am run meant to reset the circuit breaker and cover the tomatoes with blanket. My honey made a tent with small heater circulating warm air into the tent.
When I finally got around to going in the dome, I found that 1/2 the basil didn’t make it, my morning glory sproutlings died and damage on cucumber & zucchini leaves are visible.
I need to rethink our night time in the dome in case that happens again. I think that I will put a blanket on them at night in case that ever happens again. The outside temperature last night was 10degrees and the dome went down to 28degrees without the backup heater. I don’t know for how long but long enough to show the damage that winter and frost can do to a harvest.
It’s in these times I wish there was a forum with other people that garden year round in these conditions to see what they do. Hopefully I will find something like that but for now, I can only vent here.
