I have yet to see any variety of vegetables labeled as good in high tunnels in my seed books. Here in Northeast Texas tomatoes burn up in a high tunnel in July and August. Even with sidewalls open, end doors and vents open. It gets 120+ in there.

Do you use shade cloth?

Yes

@@wesmurphy9725 thinking about putting some solar fans in both ends.

@@1964JEDAGI the fans help especially on days where it's cool but sun is shining and you don't want to open the sides. However if it's over 100+ outside, the fans won't help if it's bringing in hot air.
I live in southern missouri, if its 100 degrees, under our shade cloth it's around 85. I've heard of wet walls in greenhouses to keep temperature down though.

But great video, where do you go to sell your crops? I'm wanting to do something very similiar.
