Want greens all year?  Don't want to heat a greenhouse to get them?  Low tunnel gardening is a low cost, easy way to harvest greens all year long.  They stay much warmer than a larger greenhouse, because they lack overhead airspace, which is difficult to heat.  They seldom need to be watered because of the reduced evaporation.   These are sturdy, even in the strongest winds.  They are easy to assemble, and can be taken down and stored during the summer.  Grow greens all winter, and get a jump on the summer crops as well.  

Today I noticed the tulips were up.  It was a beautiful warm day and I worked in the garden in short sleeves.      Sophie played in the hose as we watered in the greenhouse.  It felt like June!  Last fall I started onions in the greenhouse.  I waited all winter, and they never came up.  All my onion seed came up in my tunnels, so I gave up in the greenhouse and planted peas a few weeks ago.  Well, today I went out to water, because that seemed like a good excuse to be outside on such a nice day and behold...they are both up.  Onions and peas  are not a compliment together in the garden according to companion planting charts, but I don't have the heart to pull either one up, so well see what happens.

I planted my tomatoes today and put them under grow lights.  I planned to do peppers, eggplant, celery, Chinese cabbage, and some flowers too, but I ran out of soil mix for my soil cuber.  Tomorrow I will get more compost and make for to finish the job.
