High Tunnel 2017
I planted my high tunnel today. Yesterday, I put the plastic back on...by myself, which I'm sure would have been comical to watch, especially given that it was 30x50 and started out laying in the mud. I was a little dirty afterward.
2017 should be the last year for this piece of plastic, which will be year #4. I tried to hose off the mud. It is still a little dirty. I'm thinking it will be ok. It has a few holes, too, but the more I do this, the more I understand how far from perfect things can be and still work. The three rows are about 46' each. The pics below were taken right after a thunderstorm, thus the standing water. 59 plants total: Taxi x 10 Mountain Fresh F1 x 5 Rumi Banjan x 3 Babushkin Potseluy x 1 Taos Trail x 1 Agatha x 20 Dubrava x 3 Mat-Su Super B x 3 Early Orange Stripe x 2 Mat-Su Express Plant 11, F6 x 3 Mr Bruno x 3 Poljarnij Skorospelij x 2 (Big) Russian (Red) x 3 - (I got this variety in a swap and it was labelled "Russian") Thank you to AKMark and everyone else who traded seed with me.
