Winter crops

Hey there every one what's every ones plans for growing over winter in the polly tunnel I am going to give a few veg a go and some lettuces

 

Christmas spuds, Lambs Lettuce (takes ages to establish, so need to start that now), leaf beet (good cropping in the early Spring). You should get an Autumn crop of French beans if sown now (Dwarf are better in the greenhouse than climbing ones)

I don't bother with winter lettuces, the results have never seemed worth the effort so after a few winters trying I gave up on them.

 

Ooooh , winter tates , I shall have a go at them , oh hang on , im gonna let my girls over winter in the tunnel - i may have to fence a bit off, or do you think they wont eat the leaves ??

 

Chickens? Do they need to overwinter indoors? Ours wander the garden Summer or Winter, Rain or Shine ...

I would have thought they would have wrecked any plants in a confined area - scrabbling about. Mine do!
