Wow, this is what I love about gardening. Three weeks ago the yard was a dusty brown wasteland. Well, it still is truth be told, but the tunnel is an explosion of fresh new green!
I read up some on the whole thing with tunnel gardening, I have discovered that the consensus is that you are gaining about 10-12 weeks on the season, 6 at either end which makes a considerable difference in this dodgy climate of ours. I've had so many seasons where I've lavished 6 months care on everything only for much of it to fail to ripen. I've tried starting earlier but that just leaves everything either drowned or frozen.
Most of the stuff is in trays at the moment, I like to get things started off like that, it's easier. I used the shelves from last years growhouse for staging and also bought another one which will also be useful later to stack pots for hardening off etc. They're both only 2ft by 1ft by 5ft tall and only the new one has a cover.
Everything looks rosy :)
