    Hello,
    I have just gotten myself a second hand mini polytunnel (a guess from the pic it's about 2ft w x 2ft h x 5-6ft l)
    I'm planning on using it for growing winter salads outside such as lambs lettuce and maybe some spinach and also starting veggies outside early next year.
    I was just wondering what might benefit from it throughout the summer and also what other salads/veg I could grow in it autumn for winter harvest or hungry gap harvest?

    Thank you
    Peas :)

    Hi,
    We use some similar enclosures but would not use them in summer as it will just be too hot and dry for most plants.
    Better to move it out of the way, or disassemble it, and use the space for pots etc.

    Come September then you can use it again to grow on most crops later into the Autumn.
    You can also use it to start off and overwinter hardy seedlings like Sweetpeas and Bi-annuals.
