With those little raised beds you have, I don't think it would be difficult at all to extend a frame up and rig up some clear plastic to ward that frost off a while longer. Couple that with a heat sink like a bucket of water that absorbs heat all day and you could probably keep everything going a bit longer.
100% was my intention, I’ve got the 3/4 pvc and the fittings, my health just got in the way. I can’t get my steroid shots for my carpal tunnel for another 2-3 weeks.
But yeah, I was gonna run some PVC up about 3-4 feet and make sections that could be propped up to work in. I could put poly in for frost, and some mesh for bugs critters as well.
It’s also just some carrots left other than the struggling tomatoes and other plants, so not entirely sure it would be worth the effort now. If I did it earlier in the year to help with the late frost and get swings, totally another story.
So I’m super looking forward to what I can do next year hopefully, but depending on when my surgery is, that could throw a wrench anyways.
Where are you that it freezes this early?
Calgary, Alberta. It’s 3a-4a, as well as we have some weird microclimates.
Edit, and Shit like this too.
Sorry to hear
O! Canada! The Great White North!
