Ideas for the gardener that is short of space

It is often hard to find space inside for young plants that are not yet hardened to the cooler nights in early spring.

Not every one has space for a greenhouse so a good solution is to use a a temporary greenhouse made out of a clean pp storage box.

2 storage boxes (with lids) filled with 8-10 cm of good compost, plug plants can easily be planted in rows using tape to label each variety.

On a night or if it rains heavily the lid goes on the boxes to ensure that the young fragile plants are not damaged.
 

Now the perennial plug plant lucky dip from Thomson & Morgan can be toughened up without the risk of frost damage in late April. 

The collection includes the following plants :-

A, Achillea Cassis

B, Aquilegia Swan Mixed

C, Armeria Ballerina Mixed

D, Chrysanthemum White Knight

E, Digitalis (Foxglove) Dalmation Mixed

F, Delphinium Pacific Giants
