Well done..... when there is a will there is a way .... so much fascinated about planting

[@helenstewart2085]

Love the comment about wind, live in a windy part of New Zealand, get annoyed at people who don't understand about the strength of a strong wind. Am still amazed how many trampolines go flying in a wind.

My polytunnel was totally destroye in the last storm 🌬💨

[@Alisorganics]

Wind is soooo destructive! The town next to us is called Hurricane! For a reason!!!!

[@Alisorganics]

I secure like there is a tornado coming! If I were to move, the first thing I would do is make sure the place isn’t as windy as we are here!

[@gardentours]

Great tips 🌱👍

In n Louisiana I've learned not to plant anything till after mid April those late frosts will get you every time ...mom always said thunder in Feb will bring a cold snap in early April and I've found that to be true many times

[@Alisorganics]

I love the sayings our folks and grand folks used! I believe they are true many times as well. They were in tune.

Do the poles have a tendency to bend easily? I bought one from another company and it lasted less than a week, collapsed onto itself during a moderate wind! Skeptical about these! Thx.

[@Alisorganics]

So far I haven’t found they bend easy. Last year we had a lot of high winds. We did secure it well at each corner and did a cross tie inside for more stability. No bent poles as of yet. I hope it keeps going strong. 😊

In a high tunnel could I get away with growing a Meyer lemon tree which is zone 8 when I am in zone 7a?

[@Alisorganics]

Some years yes. But, you may need to protect it on cold nights. High tunnels can still freeze. It’s kinda tricky. They can live through a freeze to about 28°. Meyers are more cold tolerant, but they don’t set fruit if the temps drop too low. I believe it’s anything below 40° they don’t set. Now, that being said, IF a cold frame was set up on the south side of a house or building the night temps would be more stable. There is a guy in our town that had orange trees on the south side of his house. Puts a frame covered in greenhouse plastic during winter months and on cold nights he opens his basement window for more heat.

How does your high tunnel stand up to snow?

[@Alisorganics]

We have only have had two inches of snow on it so far and it did just fine with that. We rarely get more than that.
