lathhouse
After sufficient seedling growth (90-120 days) the plants were placed in the lathhouse for a hardening off period prior to
transplanting into the field. ...(I could not find definition, and some sites describing it were in pdf so I couldn't copy them. Laths as I know them are boards about an inch and a half wide and a quarter inch thick. Before sheetrock became available, frame house interior walls were covered with laths spaced about a quarter of an inch apart, then slow
setting plaster of paris with sand and cow hair mixed in was troweled on. A job requiring
considerable experience and skill.
Apparently the lathhouse is used as an intermediary between the hothouse, and trnasplantin outdoors. I have never seen one. I'm not going to get into a lather over it.
