We are zone 4 here and have been seriously thinking about putting up more 
hoophouses for the winter to grow greens in for the winter sales, the demand 
is real high and very few people doing it.  When do you have to plant 
tomatoes and peppers to get them to the market this early.  My field tomatoes 
will not be ready for at least another month to 6 weeks.
