Here's my own 'bump' -

Now that it's warming up and the weather man has said that this week, for example, all nighttime lows s.b. above freezing, is there any need to fool with the inner row covers, or should they all be off all the time?

I'm asking because I don't know if any gain from having the plants a few degrees warmer every night will offset the blasted hassle of placing and removing the hoops! I don't think sneak freezes w.b. an issue since the produce is still within a good hoophouse and I'm watching the forecasts 'religiously.'

What say, hoopers?
