It is a small garden and fully enclosed and rarely gets any frost as is usually 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the local temp

Wow what a great variety...I am finding that stuff grown in my garden in pots are really yielding much higher & quicker than the same things at my allotment...guess its the protection from the wind & pigeons etc thats helping them along
