I need to edit this for clarity!

I moved pepper seedlings into 3 flats, today. Could start moving the tomatoes seedlings into 4-packs also but they are small.

The furnace has failed in the greenhouse 4 times. Unfortunately, it worked when the repair guy was here. Hopefully, he determined what the problem is and has ordered the part. It's warm enuf that an electric heater can provide heat as insurance for overnight failures. I have been out twice in the dark, restarting the gas furnace and I will have too much of that checking in the middle of the night when the hoophouses are set up, on colder nights and with only those electric heaters. It begins to weigh on a person after a few weeks.

edit also: the 40mph wind gusts today make the greenhouse a kind of crazy place! That's my excuse for the poor wording 15 minutes ago! Maybe I need a nap ...

It's taking so long to get this part he thinks is the problem that ...

.. the usual season for running the furnace will be nearly about 30% over!

And, if that part doesn't fix it ..?

Notice how in Mary's climate she has summer squash that is nearly ready for harvest while the crocus is blooming? Is that possible? Oh, the mysterious California's Bay Area!

edit: Oh, wait a minute! That's @thistlebloom 's picture. I better get to bed early tonight!

@waretrop , it is a natural gas Garage Ceiling Heater.

It is a small one and getting old. I think 30,000BTU.
