Update - March 25th
It is snowing today but most of the accumulated winter snow has melted. Our night time temperatures will still vary from 0-32°F but the day time temps are warming up between 30-50°F. The seedlings appear to be doing fine with the 55-85° min-max inside GH temperatures and by the looks of the stems - the plants are not leggy and must be getting enough sun. As soon as we get some blossoms we will increase the min temperature to 65°F.
We may have come close to finding the optimal growing season in Wyoming inside a GH that can be economically heated (for personal hobby purposes) and enjoy ripe tomatoes in May or June along with those of you in zones 7 & 8! At least we are having fun at our attempts!
Thanks KarenO!
