22 Tomato and 11 pepper plants, spacings a little tighter than it should be on some of the tomatoes, but it should be okay.

Oh if you’re gonna prune these plants like one would for a Sea Of Green …. I mean you could probably fit twice as many plants in there for more fun :)

I see what you’re about, good luck.

I bet you could fabricate a fairly lightweight greenhouse lid for that thing to blow your growing season wide open.

    Not entirely the intent, but with Hardening and frost and everything else, IF everything survives, I know there’s ways to manage it and still get a great harvest. It’ll be work, but what isn’t.

    Hoop houses work in the spring, but the plants would be too tall for fall. So don’t want to have two systems, would rather one encompassing one.

    I’m gonna hopefully build some greenhouses this year, and then next year I can modify these properly as well. We are barely 90 day frost free, so it’ll go along way with options.

    I’m getting over carpal tunnel and surgeries, so I just haven’t been able to deal with a daily hoop house or other stuff, but things are looking up now.
