I have just managed to erect a mini lean-to greenhouse. It is 3'4" long
and 1'9" deep. I am delighted with it and it has droppable shelves with
a misting facility.
I know it it is not the best time of the year to be making use of it
but does anyone have any ideas? I am hoping that it will be very useful
in winter and spring. It is bolted to white house wall and faces south.
My garden is half patio and half flower and bushes.

Hi Andrew

Just one bit of advice from a non gardening slave to 'her outside'. I do
know from experience, that if it is in a corner of a white painted house
facing south, protected from the wind, it will get HOT inside.

We have a south facing back garden on a Cornish Cream painted house and
we cannot sit on the patio when the sun is toooooooooooooooooo high. We
have registered well over 100f without too much trouble.

That's the Isle of Wight, but I don't think that it is reduced by very
much as you go north.
