Nice weekly recap Steve 🙏. I've had my polycarbonate 3*10m tunnel in place since mid 2020. I've learnt a lot about succession growing, utilising the source effectively...to the point where the tunnel is full for the Winter (mostly parsley, lettuce, kale, red cabbage and carrots). Garlic went in a while ago ...onions are next.
I have to thank you for mentioning Eskimo carrots. I bought some pellet seed mid year from MoleSeeds. They've done v well indeed...loads under cover for Winter 🙏
Lastly, I've tried making fermented apple juice (kombucha) with cinnamon sticks added. It's been a great success and didn't take long to make/brew. Same with fermenting red cabbage (didn't grow either cabbage) to make sauerkraut.
They are a lovely carrot, especially after a frost and pellets make sowing almost a joy. Must be great to have such a giant tunnel in winter! : all the best - Steve
Great pictures of sea and sky, we have been mostly gloomy here with very little clear sky, day or night. Agree with your comments about becoming more able to grow your own veg and not feeling too disappointed when some veg needs to come from the shops.

Apologies for the odd predictive txt...I should've re-read it all before pushing the publish icon 😵💫

Does the 15 cell module have the same individual cell volume as your preferred 40 cell module? 40 is to many for the 2 of us.
Thanks for a great update.
Hi Steve, no, you’d need to get the 20 or 10 cell trays : all the best - Steve
Cheers
