Definition:a semi-humorous description. An environmentally responsible place to sow seed under shelter, which is what we have been doing this week. In a line under our patio windows is a row of cleaned 1 Kg (that is what it says) yogurt pots. One pot sits inside the other and the bottom pot has a layer of pebbles. The upper pot is filled with seed compost and my birthday present of windowsill herbs on seed mats (I think that is probably a trademarked description). Each circular paper mat has been covered with a sifting of compost and watered. We are now waiting for them to germinate.
In our greenhouse we have sown broad beans in plastic pots recycled from earlier seasons and my husband has covered them with the remainder of a rigid plastic sheet from our neighbours' conservatory roof replacement.
The point of all this sowing and covering is to bring a little extra warmth to germinating seeds and salads. British Summer Time is approaching towards the end of March. I could do with a little extra heat myself.
