New high tunnel


The last few days I have been working on constructing a new high tunnel. This tunnel is 26x48 and will not be heated. Just a single layer of greenhouse plastic will protect the plants from the weather. I will be using this tunnel to grow heirloom tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes, while very tasty, have little disease resistance, which makes a high tunnel perfect for them, because they are protected from weather extremes, mainly too much rainfall. The plastic will not be going on until the first week of April.
