A few pics of our veggies.. potatoes doing well, as are carrots, cabbage, broccoli, beetroot, cauliflower etc.. all are being harvested. Parsnips are slowly coming. Tunnel producing well too. Overwinter garlic and onions have been harvested and are drying nicely. Bees are bizzy too!

Very impressive, superb cabbage!

Always go  for the double door  version for ventilation.

 

The alu doors are expensive especially for a smaller tunnel as % of cost.

 

Thy used too do be   basic double wooden door option on wooden frame.

 

The overhead sprinklers doesn't reach the last few ft @ the sides on a 12ft. but 12ft ventilate alot better than longer narrower tunnels & you can grow stuff down the middle to full height like cucumber & climbing french  beans melons etc.

The seeds are doing well, spring onions in, cucumbers, tomatoes (cherry and normal), chillies, lettuce, courgettes etc. Got some pretty weird seeds off ebay, Russian and Japanese tomatoes, God knows what they will be like but hopefully OK.

Tomatoes and lettuce coming along ok. Also growing cucumber for the first time, at wife's request. I hate the stuff. Got some perpetual spinach coming through in pots to plant out in raised bed later

1st flowers on tomatoes in the tunnel, mind you frost tonight so covered in their bubble wrap creche.

Garlic coming up in pots, onion sets, spring onions, spuds, radish, carrots, leeks, broad beans, french dwarf beans green and yellow and runners all in but covered in case of late frosts. 
will stagger some more planting  of each 10-14 days apart so not all ready at once.

still got lettuce, beetroot and cucumber to do this week
Rhubarb doing well but a bit slow this year, raspberry’s and blackberry’s all coming along too

Shit I haven’t planted anything yet- you lot are making me feel stressed. I’m installing a greenhouse at the moment- so will get some seeds going ASAP.
