OneDahlia,

I'm happy enough with it for a first try. Probably the most important thing I learned from this is to treat the ground, mulch, plants, and the inside of the plastic with a multi-purpose Fungicide at the beginning. If I had done this one thing, I believe it would have been even more sucessful (but I've never used a fungicide before this).

Anyway, I bought another piece of plastic and if I can get a fairly warm dry day I'm going to install another set of hoops on top of the existing roof to give me an inch of air space between the plastic covers in preparation for Feburary's weather.

The plastic has been rolled up (except on the north side) for the last 4 days, but comes back down tomorrow afternoon as the forcast calls for temps back down in the 20's a couple of days from now. Enjoy your snow and also not having to worry with plants out in it. Claud
