I still have some roses in flower, and Perovskia (Russian Sage) and Buddleia.
My coldframe has been sanded, and is ready for assembly. What should I use as the base? I could use some very old planks, some paving slabs (two or three spares ones) or pebbles. The back and front edges of the coldframe will be on bricks. I presume I should put bricks under the sides as well.
Which is better for insulation/heat retention - pebbles or planks? The paving slabs are earmarked for something else, but I could get some more if necessary. I would like my baby plantlets to be warm and cosy. They will get the afternoon sun.
My second attempt at an upside top down sweater is proving successful. It is taking a long time, but as there will be so little sewing up to do, less time is needed to finish it (sew in the ends and add an edging to the vee neck line).
