Franklin County Demonstration High Tunnel

The Franklin County High Tunnel was planted on April 30, 2002 after lots of repairs due to wind damage. Take a look at the wind damage pic (middle picture below). This is on the top board of the door facing north. This is the door without the access door. Planted were 7 Rupp varieties of Bell peppers based on some conversations with a local greenhouse produce grower:
Maite
Vidi F1
Vivaldi F1
Camelot X3R
Ironsides X3R
Mandarin F1
Merlin F1

In some extra space I planted 3 cvs. of Cut Zinnias and some Super Bush Tomato. This Fall: Snapdragons and Sunflowers and more peppers.
