Blooming in the High Tunnel - Tomatoes and beans

Ken continues to harvest greens planted in late winter - early spring in the high tunnel in the field. As space opens up, he plants the crops that like heat.

When I am asked if we have tomatoes in June, I answer no, they are just blooming. If more questions follow, I explain the process: these plants bloom, set fruit and the fruit ripens. they like heat, and it has been a cool spring - good for greens and peas and the brassica family - bok choy, mustard, radishes, broccoli, etc.





But now the tomatoes and beans in the hoop are blooming.














I even saw one tomato plant with a couple green tomatoes. They are coming.






















And there are bean plants coming outside the hoop so we have a big crop after the small first one.
