Inside the Poly Tunnel.I have reciently planted spring cabbage in me tunnel. Early potatoes are the next thing for me to consider as I hate having to buy vedg. I am still not over the blight probs of last year. Anyone else growing stuff in yer poly?

Oh Yes!
Rows of spuds along the outside, cucumbers climbing up the frame, tomatoes down the centre and a rotation of lettuce, basil along the edges.
Then courgettes, peppers, chillis along the other side and a bed for starting the outdoors stuff.
Now, I just have to get the seed and get started.

Still picking chard , perpetual spinach and pak choi from last year's planting . Really good things because they are all hardy and cut & come again .
Garlic now showing thru as are peas and more pak choi planted in the dead of winter .
Good luck

To add to the list .... plant carrots late Sept and just leave them there . They will be very slow to grow but no matter if you aren’t using the ground for anything else . Harvested some the other day – small ( about finger size ) but lovely firm texture and beautiful flavour . A real treat at this time of year .
I suspect that they would bolt rather than get bigger as soon as they weather warms up but I have no experience . Any thoughts ?
