What are some examples of cropping patterns for a high tunnel?
At least two crops per year can be produced using a high tunnel. For example, in Missouri, tomatoes can be planted as early as March within a high tunnel, and harvest can begin in-June. Depending on the variety and type of tomato chosen, harvest can continue through July. At this point, the tomatoes can be removed, the soil fertilized and tilled, and a second crop of tomatoes, peppers or cucumbers can be established for fall harvest. In late November, a cool season vegetable can be planted and over-wintered in the high tunnel for early spring harvest.
