For the first time ever I was eating tomato yesterday that have been growing all summer in the pollytunnel. Never had this in November before. I also have swede, carrots, leeks, cabbage and winter lettuce in there all doing very well. [/quote Sabrina,Is that with both ends open on the warmer days or a full closed tunnel and just a bit of through ventilation ?
Both doors are half netting as I found in the past that the tomatoes do not do well if they are not getting enough ventilation. also it helps with the strong winds we get up here. I have had the tunnel over 3 years and it is still in very good nick. In the summer the doors are open all day.
