Thank you for all the great tips and tricks for extending the growing season! You always have great information. Thanks for sharing your gardening knowledge!
Love the comment about wind, live in a windy part of New Zealand, get annoyed at people who don't understand about the strength of a strong wind. Am still amazed how many trampolines go flying in a wind.
In n Louisiana I've learned not to plant anything till after mid April those late frosts will get you every time ...mom always said thunder in Feb will bring a cold snap in early April and I've found that to be true many times
Do the poles have a tendency to bend easily? I bought one from another company and it lasted less than a week, collapsed onto itself during a moderate wind! Skeptical about these! Thx.
So far I haven’t found they bend easy. Last year we had a lot of high winds. We did secure it well at each corner and did a cross tie inside for more stability. No bent poles as of yet. I hope it keeps going strong. 😊
Some years yes. But, you may need to protect it on cold nights. High tunnels can still freeze. It’s kinda tricky. They can live through a freeze to about 28°. Meyers are more cold tolerant, but they don’t set fruit if the temps drop too low. I believe it’s anything below 40° they don’t set. Now, that being said, IF a cold frame was set up on the south side of a house or building the night temps would be more stable. There is a guy in our town that had orange trees on the south side of his house. Puts a frame covered in greenhouse plastic during winter months and on cold nights he opens his basement window for more heat.
Kiss it goodbye is a great way to put it.

My polytunnel was totally destroye in the last storm 🌬💨
Wind is soooo destructive! The town next to us is called Hurricane! For a reason!!!!
I secure like there is a tornado coming! If I were to move, the first thing I would do is make sure the place isn’t as windy as we are here!

I love the sayings our folks and grand folks used! I believe they are true many times as well. They were in tune.

How does your high tunnel stand up to snow?
We have only have had two inches of snow on it so far and it did just fine with that. We rarely get more than that.
In a high tunnel could I get away with growing a Meyer lemon tree which is zone 8 when I am in zone 7a?
