I appreciated going through all the variations of fixed and flexible crops. Would love to learn how you balance the mid-season seed starting, maintaing the garden spaces and preparing for harvest and storage.
I grow in Calgary - it’s rare to find such detailed and climate-relevant content. Thank you! It looks like your mini hoops are steel - how did you make these?
You're welcome Mike. It's always a pleasure to connect with another grower on the Canadian prairies. There are a couple of small hoop structures that you might have been referring to. The first smaller hoops were made with polyethylene pipe (the same pipe we use for our irrigation supply lines) and the larger walk-in netted tunnel was built with 1/2 inch galvanized electrical conduit. You can see a clip of me building this structure in this video (ruclips.net/video/1Wtx7kVXggQ/видео.html) at the 9 minute mark. We bend the hoops ourselves and full instructions on the assembly of this walk-in tunnel are included in our online Classroom for course members. Thanks for sharing your question.
Broccoli fans might consider succession planting & and growing "broccilini" instead for a more continuous harvest. I am a fan of broccolini's tender stems & smaller heads. I also don't have to woof down a massive harvest all at once to eat it fresh like regular broccoli. Broccolini can be havested every few days if you cut it the right way in the bed.
What variety of corn do you grow after carrots? I noticed it was only 60 days from transplant to harvest. Do the 30 days in seed trays before transplant mean it was a 90-day variety of corn?

Another form of sucession planting, good idea
Thanks for sharing. Inshallah I WILL BE TAKING YOUR CLASS
👌
Like our grand parents always did it. If you have biger bad you can do alternate planting avoiding like that monoculture planting.
thats genius
New sub here from NB! Nice to meet you
