Bottle cloches

Just bought three plastic bottle cloches - a bit expensive - but they look really convenient to use. Any advice on what they would be most useful for? I thought of early radish and lettuce. They come in handy in April when you want to get your courgettes and beans off to an early start - there's nearly always a light frost at the end of the month that scuppers the impatient gardener! I use old water-cooler bottles - these things are about a foot in diameter by 18 inches tall - and free from the plastics recycling skip at the local tip.

I've used the cloches today for: all-the-year-round lettuce; lambs lettuce; radish. Fingers crossed now! -- Chris |
