    Ideas Please

    I have a poly tunnel on my new plot.
    25x14 with a bed inside that is 25x6.
    It is opaque plastic and professionally built. Double half width doors open at each end.

    Ideas for what to grow in it other than toms and Q's please.

    Sounds a nice size PT Lumpy, any chance of a pic as I'm curious where the 6ft wide bed is if it's the full length of the PT. Is it down the middle or down one side.

      See Lumpy's post in allotment advice for pics, Mally.

      I want to try sweetcorn in my tunnel this year, but that's because I'm so far North and it failed miserably outside last year.

      Chillies, aubergines and peppers would be the other obvious choices, though I had little success with these last year. Toms and cukes were great though! And basil and parsley.

        Bed is on the left hand side as you walk in. I did wonder about patio peach etc and wondered if cutting a whole through the weed mat stuff on the floor and planting them in the underneath soil on the left hand side.

          Carosello, melon, luffa, cucamelon, lady slipper achocha, melon pear.......

          Basically you have the means to grow what ever takes your fancy (almost)

            Personally, I'd rearrange the layout in there to give more and narrower beds - one along each side and one in the middle.

              NG - that sounded like they are swear words in swaheli. The only one's I recognised were luffa (only found out recently that they are grown rather than harvested from the ocean), melon (yuk) and cucamelon (sounds to much like melon)

                Is that supermarket bought yuk or you have tried all sorts from here, there and everywhere yuk? If the first I think it is time you gave it a second chance by growing it in your lovely big poly tunnel

                  Unfortunatly the 'yuk' is because it is one of the very few things (and kiwi) that makes me sick if I don't drink alot of milk at the same time.

                    Oo-er. yeh. don't make yaself sick Its strange how many people react to fruit. Dad is sick if he has bananas. Mil feels drunk if she has peaches, there is also a fruit that will give here migraines as well but can't remember what.
                    Anyhoo...you might want to cross off carosello as well. It is in the VSP and it is an Italian melon cucumber cross.
