Polyunnel's up!

Just when I thought it would never happen, the tunnel popped up as if by magic. Took an afternoon of tugging and filling in trenches I'd painstakingly dug earlier on, reminding me of Cool Hand Luke. It looks a bit space-age sitting like a half-buried zepplin in the field, but we're pleased as punch it's up.



I decided that the best way to use the space would be to have "keyhole" beds (on the left), which is a bed bent around you so you can reach around it without walking. Half is tomatoes and aubergines, the other half is peppers and chillies, and the one one the right is herbs. All rotated to help with the usual pests, etc. The keyhole beds mean we get a normal straight bed along the side, and half as much space again in the middle with access all around. I'll have a small measure of smugness please barman...
