Carla, How cold are you keeping them now with heat? What is the temp forecast for tonight? A large abrupt change might be doubly hard on them. Cover with layer of plastic (drop cloth). Cover your truck/trailer bed with plastic if there will be
an extended/severe period of exposure when/if you move them. You have probably already thought of these variables, but if
not maybe they will help. Good luck, Farmer

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Hugh + Tuuli Cartmill I'd agree with Sue and double
cover. I lost my heating system at the weekend just gone and had outside -30C
at night. It took 48 hours to get the heating back but the coldest I had inside
was about -5C at the edges and perhaps -3C in the centre. The days were sunny
and the temp went up to +5C. The house is poly double inflated. I lost all my
basil and some other herbs but most came back once the heating came on. I have
a "mini greenhouse" at one end which is a frame with old poly
stretched over the top and it's about 5" high. I use it for seeds which
need light to germinate. None of the freshly germinated herbs in there were
lost. I trust your power will be OK but have the extra cover ready and get it
on as soon as possible. Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. Get it now. |
