This year I have bought a mini-greenhouse.I am so pleased that I have it .The weather has turned frosty with a bitter,cold wind from the north. The small sized summer bedding plants and tomato plants that I bought from the garden centre last week would never have survived but they are warm and well protected in my mini green house.They will stay there until late May when the danger of frost has past.

The salad leaf seeds that I sowed 4 weeks ago are doing well and are ready to cut and eat.I have also planted some hyacinth beans in small pots. These will grow very tall grown up bamboo poles and have magnificent purple flowers followed by edible beans.

None of this would be possible without my little sentry box green house.
It was easy to construct and is made of tough plastic externally. The front opening can be zipped up for full warmth and opened on warmer days to help harden off the plants inside.
