The weather finally broke enough to warm up and quit blowing. Over the last few sunny days I have ventured out to work on the polytunnel. You can track the complete progress here. I am glad to have it finally covered so the soil can begin to warm up and dry out enough to work. I can also now head in on wet days to finish picking the rocks and sticks out and complete the final grading.
We should be starting the plants for the tunnel indoors this week, by the time they have sprouted I am hoping to have the doors done and the inside of the tunnel ready.

It’s a cute tunnel, what kind of plastic are you using? it looks white, not clear.
I used basic builder’s plastic. $50 for a roll 100′ x 10′. It’s seemed in the middle. It withstood wind up to 45mph recently and should last the season. Although both the sun and pvc offgassing might make it too brittle to last beyond that. We shall see.
