To give me an idea for future years when setting up the initial tulles/hoops, here are measurements of the height of various things today:
Kale: 31" tall
Chard: 31" tall
Beets: 16" tall, but squished under the tulle; 20+" clearance would be better
Broc (piracicaba): 32" tall and growing
Zuke (Golden Glory): 39" tall and growing
Wow, this tulle I bought a big bolt of last year is fantastic, it can really cover a nice big and tall area. Used it to upsize the west bed / south two zucchini's home, and the central bed / south two zucchini's home, along with newly cut higher hoops.
For example, the central beds' new digs has the tulle/hoops 37" high, and the square area is 76" x 41". Hopefully the plants should now have lots of room to keep growing well and maintain some air flow. Next year I should do this from the get-go, no matter how bizarre it looks when the seedlings are tiny little things!
