Looking for something different for my polytunnel

TunnelDad

Hi All,

I'm new here and its my first post. I'm looking for something new or different for my polytunnel. I have way to many veg and herbs and would be interested in getting something a little different. Just wondering if you had any ideas?

Thanks,

Séa

Try more exotic veg?

Get some cuttings somewhere of different shrubs and grow those?

Grow Agaves?

Chillies, Tea coffee, Quinoa,
Lasanga tree or Pasta Laughing

How about Rice,Chinese artichoke

..... or even a grape vine that, given time, could go from end to end on a wire. If you've ever been to Hampton Court Palace, you'll probably know what I mean but don't forget, they're best planted OUTSIDE the tunnel/greenhouse and the vine then trained into the inside. The benefit would be that it wouldn't take up any space on the ground.

Thanks lads, I like the sound of a lasagna tree, I could plant it next to my money tree Smile

Maybe a vine, that could be a good idea.
I'll deffo grow a few cuttings.

I'm gonna grow some ginger I think, not sure how well that will grow or if I will get a good harvest.

thanks,

Séa

Welcome. I grew several varieties of peppers and chillies for the first time last year and was very pleased with the results. So I grew them again this year.
