Still have a way to go setting up the polytunnel. There will be another, central, bed. Unlike the field, the soil is very poor here and requires a lot of improving. Dug a lot of manure in to create a hotbed. Apparently they did this on Bob the Builder in order to grow pineapples. To which, my response was "Do we want to grow pineapples?" Rex pointed out that other plants can benefit too.
Meanwhile have done the first sowing of hardy annuals outside and sweet peas are coming up in the greenhouse.

ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the case with polytunnels. These things are literally “cropping up” all over the countryside. They do not seem to be exactly cheap either, and so nurseries and farms can spend a material amount of money building and maintaining them. polytunnel
