Jesus Christos, PT!

what interesting results from this latest cold snap!

Now I'm more curious than ever to seem how the "space blankets"
will work out compared to your current high-effort protection. Do you
suppose you could keep the mylar sheets (Isn't that what the space
blankets are also called?) on the plants during the day too, or would you
want the plants and ground to warm up during the day???

Straw bails interesting. I received my space blankets today. They fold up so little! So, I'll be testing soon.

Frost cloth is a light insulating fabric. Mylar is a type of plastic. Maybe the aluminum for the space blanket it coated on mylar. I'm not quite sure.
