I cut the bottom off and I can let air in by unscrewing the top (cost about £1 each).<br />Not as smart as yours though...NorthernTeachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-84858034981209331682011-11-25T15:34:55.953+00:002011-11-25T15:34:55.953+00:00I remember your problems with the foxes last year....I remember your problems with the foxes last year.

When I see all the effort gardeners in the West take to protect plants from the cold, I realise how fortunate I am not to have to worry about winter at all. At the peak of winter here, if you could call it winter, it is extremely pleasant. Fruits and vegetables thrive in our winters. We get apples, carrots and peas in abundance in winter. Here, what gardeners fear are the heavy monsoon rains and the scorching summers.Anita Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902981126493850669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-9571017716011822112011-11-25T10:00:58.109+00:002011-11-25T10:00:58.109+00:00They look remarkably free of slug attack too Mark....They look remarkably free of slug attack too Mark.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-13210408819134309692011-11-25T05:39:42.038+00:002011-11-25T05:39:42.038+00:00They look super healthy - I really should plant so...They look super healthy - I really should plant some endive it looks beautiful.Lizhttp://www.suburbantomato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-11840453769120520272011-11-24T21:18:55.364+00:002011-11-24T21:18:55.364+00:00I've seen those cloches here so I'm away t...I've seen those cloches here so I'm away to get me some...I did wonder if they'd do the job and now thanks to you I can see they're perfect.<br /><br />Some of my lettuce have bolted ~ not sure why ~ but there's still a few left. <br />I'll just have to be careful that I don't bake them though.
