Our poly tunnel

Earlier this year we invested in a poly tunnel.  We spent ages pulling up grass and digging holes and Jeremy did the frame work and then we did the plastic covering.  We then planted LOTS of seeds and managed to fill the poly tunnel up....not always in straight rows (my fault).  Jeremy built some staging which we are growing cut and come again lettuce on, basil, rocket, chamomile, coriander, the most successful has been the salad.  I planted lots of little gem seeds too and moved them into the ground as they grew, it worked well and I have been living off them for a few weeks now.  We cut our first courgette this week, very exciting!  We have green tomatoes too, so cannot wait for them to turn red.  We made our own nettle feed for the tomatoes by putting some nettles in a lidded plastic crate chopping them with shears, adding water and letting it stew.  It stinks! But hopefully it will work. There are a few cucumber plants in the poly tunnel too, some strawberry plants which we have been enjoying berries.  There are also a few potato plants which came from last years crops.
