It finally got warm, but it is supposed to frost again in a few days. I'm pretty much giving up on my plant-selling season altogether. Between a cold month of almost no sun and a lot of freeze damage, I don't have anything to take to market for at least a couple more weeks. Weather-wise, this has been the worst spring for growing plants that I can remember, some of my fellow vendors who have been in the business 30+ years say the same thing.
If I were to do this all over again, I would build a fortress of a greenhouse with an insulated north wall and end walls, and insulated shutters I can close at night and turn on the heat. Trying to keep a plastic tent warm at night is just ridiculous.
