Hembrain said:@CaptObvious, those look like nice structures! I see your covering is opaque and that would diffuse the intensity of the sun, which is nice in summer but might be why it's cooler in there than ambient temp on cloudy days lately. The weather has been crazy, though.

Your brassica crops may be able to handle quite a chill. Where you are, I bet they may do fine all winter long.

Yeah, the poly is the "clear" from Home Depot. Had to buy the 100ft roll in order to get adequate coverage for top portion of house. Further monitoring shows inside temp get 20F above ambient on sunny afternoon. I still have some sealing to do, but also planning to have a covered raised bed inside the house next winter. Saw this on "Growing a Greener World". The bed maintains plants all winter way up north. Still learning.
37F outside, 53F inside. 56F in the cold frame.
