Plenty of leeks , carrots and parsnips might be useful if the ground gets hard frozen in your area.
Strong belief , triggers the mind to find the way ... Dyslexia just makes it that bit more amusing & interesting

It;s prbaby a matter of scale. I have greenhouses rather than tunnels 'cos i like to look at the view but at the end of the season i just rip everything out and wash down with jeyes and give it all a rest. There;s plenty in the filed veggie patch to eat by then: carrots, parsnips, brassicas..
You could shoot for new pots for xmas or if game to give some extra light and heat then lots of choices.

Everything gets cleared out in October and I have a rest from endless watering, pruning, fixing and picking!!!
