High Tunnel Officially Open

Auto-roll-up side controller. Shows temp of 82.2F

Rye looks good.
The high tunnel is officially up and running.  Okay, its been up and running for a little while, but the rye that was planted inside has finally made it up high enough that pictures can show that the high tunnel is doing its job of keeping things warm enough to grow plants.  Today it was 82F and 93% humidity in the high tunnel when I went out this morning.  For sure, the night time temps are only about 10 degrees inside the high tunnel above the outside temps, so this is no green house, but with the daytime temps going into the 80's our lettuces, radish and peas have already sprouted.
