Cold spell now 3 weeks long...................................

Lows in the 30s, high winds, ...

Hard to believe, but overall I can't complain. But this week I've needed to cut holes in the greenhouses to let the main vines come out. With the holes now cut in the plastic, that combined with 50 mph winds yesterday has resulted in even more torn plastic. That has lowered the temperature to the plants, and will cause growth to nearly stop until the weather warms up. We're not predicted to see a warm up until at least Friday. 

Anyone in this part of the country who has tried to do this without greenhouses is going to be way behind this year. If you are in Idaho and reading this (other than Brian) please drop me a note and let me know how things are going. I'm trying to work some ideas through the state fair this year... and I need to get an idea of what we might plan on for this fall. Thanks.
