Plenty to pick and chose from LOL because I'm not growing all of them. I think I bought one kind of small watermelon and the rest were free seeds that Baker Creek sent with seed orders.

Going to grow 2 or 3 tomato types, an assortment of greens and leaf lettuce for salads, Shisito(yum) and Kalugerista pepper(never got to try a Kalugerista last year) and one of most other things.

Got one high tunnel truss frame welded up. Sucker's almost 18' tall by 22' wide. Took some doing to get the five pieces of pipe flat, square and get the dimensions correct etc. Going to use this as a pattern/jig to weld up the other seven. Then I just need to figure out how me and my son are going to stand them up and set them down into holes in the ground. The leg pieces were taken from partials/scrap from my local steel pipe supplier and vary from 6-7 foot long so I'll use the truss frames with 7 foot legs for the ends and disperse the rest evenly, whether it ends up being one in the middle or two evenly spaced in between the ends. The long legged ones that will be almost 18' tall will go almost 3 foot into the ground so that I end up with a 15 foot tall tunnel.

Will need to prime and paint them after spraying them with Ospho rust treatment. I'll have Jason do that. Also read one time that it's a good idea to run tape on the top/outer side of the pipe where the plastic makes contact. Will have to research that and see what kind of tape is recommended. Should be able to get the frame up and ready for plastic by early to mid March. Only 8 days left in Feb and I work five of them. Need to do cross bracing, build end walls, doors, vents and drop down sides.

Might be able to get maters in there even if there's no end walls. If I have plastic over it, I can toss some shade cloth over that if we have another heat wave like last year. Not going to be a season extender for this Spring but will be this Fall.
