Ours is a hoop house style structure. We had the sides rolled down with the wire lock in place and the door was shut since it was to get down to the low 30's on Sat. night. They also had a row cover over them to keep the sun off of them until the were established... It was sunny all day long on Sunday, too. I left the mountain fresh in the ground since the stems were still nice so hopefully they will sprout a new "sucker" to use as a main stem. Everything else I had enough extras to replace them... but boy, was I bumming. (We also laid ground cover in the tunnel this year so we weren't fighting weeds all Summer. It was like an oven in there) just bumming!
