One of my favorites is kale. For those who like kale, I'm guessing it would grow well in the tunnel. I'm glad you mentioned turnips. I bet I could grow them too and I have family members who love turnips. Take care, Carver I found this interesting since I am winter gardening this year. One of my favorites is kale.

I would add leaf beet, chard and parsley to your list. Although they're all pretty hardy, they will be more consistent and tender when grown with a little bit of protection.
