How many here grow food gardens inside green house year round?

I live in a fairly windy area. It took me a couple winters to get the tunnels down pat. You need clamps, double clamps at the end of the tunnels, and a smooth tunnel with some poly laying on the path, wieghed down by bricks, so that no air can get inside. I never had a blowout when there is deep snow, it seals the tunnels perfectly. Do you grow under them in the winter? If so, what can you grow? I've done garlic uncovered but that's about it. I have two poly tunnels now (and keep the plastic down with netting ...removing the plastic at the height of summer and the net remains to keep out the hares). Would onions survive the winter. As it stands, I can't get onions much bigger than a golf ball. I wonder if planting in the fall would help that. .. Zone 5a in Canada's Far East. |

I am not sure about regular onions because I grow multiplier onions, which I plant in the fall, either covered or uncovered. They are shallot-like, and about twice golf ball in volume, which is their regular size. Under tunnels I maintain carrots, kale, collard, radicchio, dandelion, bokchoi which were grown during the warm season and attained full size in october. The tunnels also warm the beds quickly in the spring. |
