The Strawberry Patch will be closed at least until noon today. We covered the Strawberry Patch last night. We will try to have part of the patch open by noon today. We will post as soon as we uncover. We are going to wait until one of the covers dries off. We will only uncover 1 section of the patch. It was very difficult to cover because the covers were soaked with water from the rain. Think of how much a towel weighs when it is wet, then think of how much a towel would weigh if it was 35ft x 440 ft. There are 7 covers. Because of the weight of the row covers there is a larger chance of damaging the Strawberries by pulling the covers on and off. Chance of frost again tonight, so the patch will need to be closed and covered again by 5:00 tonight.
