Peonies, raspberries and one fig was planted in the north (perennial) side of our 30′ X 96′ high tunnel. An adjacent outdoor planting was also established. Peonies that were transplanted include Charles White, David Harum, Du Chese Orleans, Festiva Maxima, Kansas, Richard Carver, Sarah Bernhardt, Shawnee Chief, Snow Mountain and Coral Charm. Raspberries include Josephine, Heritage, Caroline, Nantahala, and Mandarin. The fig that was planted in the high tunnel is Chicago Hardy.  The plastic covering will be put over the structure in February of 2011.

One row of figs was also planted in a row just north of the cut flowers. From West to East one plant each of Alma, Carlo A, Carlo B, Celeste, Chicago Hardy, Conadria, Dittmar Greek, Hisaria Bulgaria, Kadota, King, St. Louis Greek and another Alma were planted.
