Hi Breck!
Tunnels help quite a bit in wet weather, but since we
didn't know to install drainage when we built them (not many were even in
existence then and we were just stumbling along in a new way to grow, kinda on
our own), not as much as they could. With proper drainage, they would be
awesome. Unfortunately, retro-fitting them is a labor-intensive job we
haven't yet accomplished.
But, even with the challenges, we have tomatoes over 3 feet
tall with large fruits, cherry tomato plants even larger and closer to
sales, cucumbers, swiss chard, broccoli, lettuce,strawberries and mesclun,
and zinnias, cosmos, ageratum, sweet peas snapdragons, campanula and
scented basils to cut for bouquets. A friend of ours also has snap/snow
peas, squash, potatoes close, etc. None of that would be happening
outdoors.

amazing! I am located close enough to you, that I too can’t catch a break with
the rain. I prefer to whine and carp instead. How much help are your tunnels when
the ground is soaked? Have you trenched around them to lower the water table?
Does the lack of wind and sun work negatively with
tunnels? I really enjoyed your book on
tunnels. FarmerBreck Breck Carden Carden’s Garden From:

of the big reasons we all do market growing (besides the big money of course!)
? The everlasting chase after the perfect season. The more we know,
the more we want/need to know and no season is the same. What a
challenge! What fun! (Well, most of the time. I do wish it
would stop raining long enough to get some crops in the
ground) Alison Wiediger, Au
