High Tunnel Construction
High Tunnel 2019 - Growth
Youtubed!
June-July 2019
Small crew supplied some weekend hours to turn ideas into reality
Native soil is a horrid clay and ground is level enough to create a swamp after any rain. A local company donated truckloads of gravel and many hours of labor installing drainage and to raise, grade and level a base for the High Tunnel. They also set the support "pilings" for the framework.

August -November 2019
Tomatoes, grown from pruned suckers, nearly exploded with growth!
Large, strong stems with gigantic leaves
Sadly, planted in August, only a percentage of the Tomato crop ripened before plants were killed by sub-zero cold.
We were forewarned and harvested hundreds of pounds of partially ripe and green Tomatoes and had some success of ripening by closing up in paper bag with Apples to force rapid ripening.

Plans are for planting frost resistant crops in March and "Summer crops" in April. Intention is for harvesting a full month earlier than outside crops, then replanting for an additional harvest into late Fall.
