Summer officially starts this weekend and I am talking about the fall and winter. I want to maximize my inside growing area this year. I have two 18 by 45 high tunnels. I am wanting to try to grow stuff inside them until at least Thanksgiving, maybe later. It all depends on the weather! I also want to grow more greens for this fall mainly September and October. When I say greens, basically lettuce and spinach. Many people like the baby spinach I had earlier this year. I would also like to keep that growing and harvesting for as long as I can. I also would like to try Swiss Chard, Beets, Carrots, and Radishes. When should I start these fall crops? With the greens should I try to use transplants early on when it is hot, then switch to direct seeding? Am I crazy to attempt this? In the perfect world, I would have a movable high tunnel and then just place it over the crops I have growing outside. However, that is not going to happen! What are your fall growing schedules like? I live in North Central Kansas in zone 5. Thanks for any and all help! Jay |
