I've been cutting plastic pipe and installing hoops over all my beds all day. I ran out of pipe to cut then ran out of conduit pipe. Then I find that some of the old plastic has gone brittle and can't be used. I'll need to get more of everything, now that all my beds are planted. At least I have a few days before frost conditions return.
