The film is on the hoop and walls, but not permanently anchored, yet on the walls. The barrels have helped keep the temperature stable, despite 23 degrees a few nights ago. Plans are to put crushed cinder rock behind the barrels under the plastic for insulation. The east end is just plastic hanging down to the ground and held in place by a pvc pipe, cement blocks, and whatever's handy. It sustained a high wind last week, up to 50 mph gusts and a rainstorm. So far so good. It will be a lot better when all the plastic is attached around the side walls and a doorway is built. There needs to be an arbor down the center to support snow loads, so that is planned also.

2. Inside, southwest corner- green beans planted inside the cement block holes, foreground is raised bed in which is growing corn, okra, tomatoes, squash, and a couple of watermelons - next to it, not shown, are more squash, strawberries,tomatoes, transplanted from the outside garden and growing back after a bad frost.
