I'm not Hattie, but Paul
and I seed some crops throughout the winter. They take longer to germinate
and longer to grow. For instance, mesclun that is ready in 17 days in the
late spring/summer/early fall may take 35 days or more in winter, depending on
how many sunny days we get. However, it does germinate and grow. The
soil stays in the high 40's/low 50's depending on where in the tunnel it is (the
middle rows are warmer than the outside ones), and that is fine for the cool
weather crops we grow.

Do you seed in the high tunnels during the winter, or do you transplant
from plugs? I've been transplanting but I'd sure like to direct seed --
especially stuff like spinach -- if I could get away with it, but I'm thinking
that the soil is too cold for germination, no matter what you do to try to warm
it up. If you can get it up around 60 or 65 during the day, you're still going
to lose a lot of that at night, aren't you?
