Hmm, I would think it's a waste of tunnel space. I would be more inclined to use fleece over plants if you want extra protection....but that's just me.
I made a fleece tent this year. Hung it from a bamboo cane and it covered a whole table. It was brill early in and then I could take it down when things got warmer.
It may get super hot in there during the summer with little airflow.

I’ve just updated my plant list post #31 .
It’s now quite large! How would you split it up into categories? I’m going to start missing things on it because is so big.
Do I sort by family, annual, perennial, bulbs, flowering period, size, evergreen, sun, shade, hedging, fillers, other???
Advice please how would you sort that list of plants?

I'd start with annual & perennial because the perennials are permanent and stay in position once planted. The annuals are less important - you could miss a year and it wouldn't matter as much.

First I'd separate all the shrubs out. They need fairly permanent places. Then make a list of the bulbs/corms/tubers as they are best planted last so you don't accidentally chop them while planting something else.
that leaves herbaceous perennials, biennials, and annual seeds.
Group each list into flowering season/season of interest and order these sub groups alphabetically.

Actually there's not really enough to bother sub-dividing the groups. Put a symbol or letter against each to denote season of interest.

My new garden gate is now hung.
Gate made by me hung by Bob. Latch idea was mine. How to achieve it was a joint effort.
Just got to put the arch up now. I have all the wood ready. So it’ll happen soon.
This gate and arch will be the entrance to the cottage garden.
