Check out Paul & Alison at Au Naturel Farm near Bowling Green, KY (Zone 6):

They grow off-season vegetables year round in unheated "tall tunnels" that
are 18 x 96.
I heard them talk about this at a recent Southern SAWG Conference. (Excellent
presentation, by the way.) The tunnels are lighter and less expensive than
greenhouses,
but have no snow load rating.

They offer a one day workshop on this in October. I plan to attend to see if
my idea
would work here- winter salad crops, then summer vegetable starts in flats on
empty beds
in early spring. They also start tomatoes late summer in these for a crop
after frost
has stopped local tomato crops in the fall- may try that, too.
