You're So Hot!

Hey Everyone,

And the weekend "Garden Hottie" Prize goes to Chuck Surdi in Bed 23!

Chuck's "Garden Hottie" Prize!
Some wonderful varieties for Spring or Fall with a
wonderful way to preserve the harvest 6 months
without canning!

Yes Chuck, it is you!  You are hotter than all the rest.  Turns out taking the garden temperatures this past weekend has been rather interesting, as the numbers have continued to rise.  I consistently took all readings late day between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.  I used a digital meat thermometer and then spot checked with the compost thermometer to ensure accuracy.  Here are the findings!  

On Friday, the normal readings fell anywhere between 37.3 degrees to 41.6 degrees for uncovered beds and for those who cover on a regular basis, temperatures were consistently 10 to 12 degrees higher.

On Saturday, the temps in uncovered beds rose considerably while those who normally cover seemed as if they were stabilizing and really didn't change all that much.

By late Sunday afternoon, as many would anticipate, temperatures were doing really well.  Those who normally cover are seeing their increase and range from 54.1 degrees to 55.7 degrees.  All other beds are running between 49.8 degrees to 52.6 degrees.  That is except for our Garden Hottie!  Chuck's bed was 41.6 on Friday, 52.3 on Saturday, and Sunday, he was the hottest at 56.3 degrees.  Whatever you are doing over there Chuck, it is certainly working for you!

I will do some checking mid-week through next weekend and keep us all posted. 

Prize is the shed for you Chuck!

Hope you enjoy,

Denise, Beds 25 & 29
