One of my tunnels up and growing. Show leeks on the left, show carrots and parsnips in the red tubes eating carrots on the left



and behind the red tubes a few onions


When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

Spectacular!

Eaters on the right.

Is that a double tunnel? How long by what?

Home made tunnel Davy?

Where'd you get the pipe? ??? It's like hen's teeth round here...
I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

Wow those leeks are amazing.  Lots of hanging baskets too.  Good luck with the shows - let us know how you do & please can we see the monster carots when you harvest them.

The local lads that work on different sites or when they go into builders yards they look to see if any has been skipped they get it for us.

TIM  that tunnel is only about 20 feet long. But growing carrots in there has its problems one being the raised trench dries out quickly and the foliage gets drawn so when you top water it topples over, so i put in an undergaround hose
