Success!

Well the low tunnel experiment has been well worth the mud trudging!I even had some help when the tractor had a flat tire.



I took Broccoli Raab and Pac Choi that had been planted at the same time. Seen above
I transplanted one group into 4" pots and left them in the greenhouse
The rest I planted in the low tunnels...

The tunnel plants were twice as big at the end of two weeks.
And Voila!

Even the tunnel where i seeded carrots,lettuce,chard and spinach germinated twice as fast as in the greenhouse.
If only the rain would stop long enough cause I got all this left to get in the ground.Not complaining but...

Beets,carrots,cauliflower,leeks,kale,lettuce and broccoli are all ready to go in as soon as I can build the next house.
