Apparently, I should have run the heater all night constantly and not used the timer. Almost everything has freeze-damage now, especially my tomato plants. I will be culling and giving away a lot of plants next week. They will all live just fine, but no one will buy them with burnt-off edges. The plant selling season has been a complete bust so far. I'm not even sure when I will be back at market.
I'm also coming to despise that diesel heater, especially the smell. Just being in the greenhouse after it has run makes my clothes and hair stink. The smell seems to follow me around. I may have to experiment with kerosene to see if it stinks less.
