I'm at high altitude in Colorado, just put up our
Farm Tek high tunnel last year, so it hasn't made it through the wild spring
weather, so I'm still cautiously optimistic about it staying put. :)
But,that being said, I have spinach as well. If only I'd have believed
that it was possible! I didn't plant the whole tunnel, won't make that
mistake again, this is the best, sweetest spinach I've ever had and my lucky
friends and family who are enjoying it as my test eaters this winter are gladly
begging to pay for small shares of it next winter. I need another tunnel,
and a bigger one than 26x48 next time. Josh, I'm at a zone 5, maybe 4 with
the altitude of 7100', so it's certainly possible for you. I wouldn't be able to
take the cover off either, that would totally defeat my plan. Some days I
just go sit in my tunnel in my lawn chair and bask in 90 degree warmth while
it's windy and cool outside, if the sun shines, the tunnel really heats
up. I've had a couple days where it was 50ish outside and 90 inside, in
January. Gotta love it.
