    testing limits again

    been testing the limits of when I can plant in the tunnel, it might help others,

    planted 3 corgettes in tunnel one in big pot in tunnel this was back in the beginning of march as small plants, and coved by big water bottle till about 2 weeks ago, they are growing and two have very very baby corgettes forming , also found a bumle bee in tunnell last week, +6 tomatoe plants about 8 inches high I bought these they are growing well and 2 have started to flower, I have also planted my peppers and they are ok and also some outdoor cucs in tunnel.

    We will now get the most servere frost ever and freeze everything in the tunnel.

    Thats really interesting KK8. I noticed the polytunnel today was pretty warm and wondered if I could be starting some plants off if they were covered at night. Night time temps are still dropping down to 2 degrees as it has been so clear.

    Keep us posted. Very interesting.

          the plot around my tunnel had very bad frost everything was white and crispy, which has most likely killed the poatoes but the tunnel was fine, the french beans are in big pots by the door and were ok the onlything that got a bit of frost burn was the potatoes in the tunnel that were touching the skin.

          My tunnel has been get very hot when the sun is out.
