scheduling with several options involving the diversity of your growing environment and operations oftentimes involves the grunt work and conveyor set-ups to move plants to other greenhouses to either speed up or delay crops .another option may involve bumping up into a slightly larger container and hold back sales until the root systems are adequately rooted out .as there is a limited timeframe keeping plants within cell packs before root diseases and sepsis creeps in.
scheduling also involves churning over crops,a second flush of annual crops and scheduling specialty crops all the while fitting in more thorough beyond normal sanitation methods. as well as scheduling in gh maintenance and repairs. ref few of the trade journals ie GrowersTalk;Greenhouse Management
seek alternative to bleach as a sanitizing agent and soaking bare root stock.
I'm at zone 7 at roughly 700 feet. I have tried planting tomatoes around the first of May with cover, but found they did not produce much sooner than those planted toward the end of May. So I tend to just wait a bit longer but plant varieties with a shorter harvest time.
Almost every year I end up challenging the 10c rule and rarely if ever do I regret it. Normally my main issue is that it's too hot in the greenhouse and too cold at night in my high and low tunnels. I prefer the plants to have the slightly colder nights than the blistering daytime temperatures. Right now I have very healthy peppers out in my low tunnels, protected from the wind, but enjoying 6-10c at night and looking very healthy compared to the ones in the greenhouse which are stressed by the heat. Tomatoes are even more tolerant of lower than 10c temperatures as are courgettes, but winter squash and cucumbers are less tolerant. One year I wrapped my chili peppers in a single layer of fleece and they were at 4c for weeks and I had my best ever harvest, it's all quite confusing : All the best - Steve
That's awesome. The right protection is truly the answer. Once I get these new raised beds of mine set up, I am thinking of creating some hoops for at least on of them so I can have a tunnel over it.

It's the cold wind that seems to cause more challenges than the temperature
I've also found this to be the case.
