We've had some nice rains so far this year, and the hoophouse is filled with monstrous sized plants. We've been harvesting Black Krim and Golden Girl tomatoes, green beans, Malabar spinach (a fantastic vertical grower), green peppers, and I have two young melons hanging in pantyhose from the overhear arch. Cucumbers are coming along nicely, I just wish that I would have planted some slicers instead of more picklers.

One big problem I have encounters is that my rhubarb is suddenly dying back. It was looking limp a couple days ago, so I watered it with a garden hose (previously it was only rain water).

I even like picklers sliced and in a salad.

I really like picklers with onions in sweetened vinegar. YUM

We’re thinking of putting in a hoop house in our community garden. The one we tried with pvc flopped over in the wind. What kind of braces are you using to hold the cover?
