Finally got in the garden and got some more things planted yesterday. I just lightly tilled the top few inches and it was dry enough to work good. Planted potatoes and some more sweet corn. I have some corn, onions, and green peas already up from a planting about a month ago. High tunnel has cabbage, broccoli, squash, tomatoes and green beans. The green beans have struggled to come up because when I till the ground in there it gets so loose, that when the overhead sprinkler system is turned on, it will pack the soil so hard that it crusts over and makes the soil almost like concrete in places. I also use a drip line irrigation system, I've found out that the high tunnel does best if all the soil gets water, not just the rows the crops are in, so the overhead system is a must. Strawberries and blackberries look good too.
