Empty Tunnel

[CaroltheCarrot]

Dont ask but I have an empty tunnel
Do you think I could get a late crop of peas,carrots, or what out of it?

Peas would be pretty quick to grow - sugar snaps and mange tout even quicker!

You could try some French beans and autumn king carrots along with winter lettuce, I'll be sowing my Arctic king lettuce at the end of this month ready to go in my greenhouse borders after the toms have come out.

Depending on the variety, peas take 80- 100 days from sowing. I'd be more inclined to sow an early variety of carrot as they mature earlier. Autumn King takes a long time if started early in the season so a bit ambitious sowing that one imho. happy to be proved wrong though. lettuces should still be possible in the tunnel though. I've never had success with them inside. They always tend to succumb to heart rot but in the cooler autumn temperature, might be worth a go. You could also try some xmas spuds but be ready to cover with fleece as it gets colder.

Empty Tunnel - why?

Dont ask - oops

but I have an empty tunnel - nice

Do you think I could get a late crop of peas,carrots, or what out of it? Yes, have you got any toms or peppers that are hanging about in pots that can go in? Or sow lettuces, swedes, kohl rabi, etc etc that turn around? Or see what's on offer at the local nurseries that you can bung in?

Thanks all will give them a go. I just want to be able to get something out of it

[taff]

also spinach, pak choi, all those sorts of things...

I'd bury the body in there first Carol, then plant over the top

Do not tempt me.
Well this was a bit premature, the "fixed" tunnel is not ruddy fixed, no doors, end polythene not in and beds full of rubble. It will take me about six months to sort out the soil.
And he wonders why I am not a happy bunny

Watch out!!!!!!! There's a train coming!

Hi Carol,

Don’t despair. Dig a little at a time and plant up, even if you only sow radishes. Also, when its wet out, the tunnel will be dry.
