Mini-greenhouse plasic bag thingy

Hi,
I was tempted into buying a mini-greenhouse thing which is basically
plastic
feet and spacers, plastic coated metal poles and wire shelves, and a
plastic
bag with a zip in it to go over the whole shooting match.
Bought it at Glynweb for £15.
It is basically 3 shelves each of which will hold 3 standard seed trays.
The
top shelf has considerably more height above it than the other 2.
I have it in the sun lounge with seed trays in, raising tomatos,
cucumbers,
courgettes.
It seems to work pretty well, although I nearly fried the tomatoes the
other
day and had to cover the whole thing whilst they had a chance to recover -
I
sprayed them with a Killaspray containing rainwater and this revived them.
Put the max/min thermometer in to see what the temperature was.
In the sun lounge it is about 80F and inside this thing it was over 100F
and
very humid.
I would have said the sun lounge at 80deg was ideal for these
seeds/seedlings. It's going to get warmer than that when the sun comes out,
allegedly this is going to happen tomorrow.
