I was spoiled by the fresh vegetables I grew in my garden this summer.
So I am trying to grow some over the winter.
I made 2 poly tunnels. The high tunnel is like an unheated greenhouse. The low tunnel is just a covered bed.
This is the low tunnel. About 4 foot tall and 32 feet long.
I planted a bunch of hardneck garlic and fingerling potatoes.
The garlic is really going to town and the potatoes are just starting to come up.
In the high tunnel I planted lettuce that is doing well. This is heirloom buttercrunch. Each leaf is the size of a hamburger bun. I am able to pick a large colander of lettuce every 3 days. A mole is rampaging through this bed so today I dumped hot chili powder down each hole. That aught to get his attention.
This bed has 4 rows of carrots getting started.
These were carrots from this summer. Before these I never knew I would crave cooked carrots.
There are others such as garlic, onions, celery, chard and some tomatoes in the high tunnel. Not sure if the tomatoes will survive the colder weather though.
