I have spaced cages 4' for air flow. I did notice this yr. a late june volunteer that went till frost. Tomatoes are the only crop I haven't mastered in our sandy creek bottom. And yes I have harvested beets wearing hip waders! Rockman
Sounds like you are doing all the right things. We have had lousy weather the last several years so hopefully things will straighten out for you. Those woods probably restrict airflow so that will make it a little tougher.
