When I was out in the Far East midrift-warmers (as underwear, rather than overwear) were popular. I don't think I've seen them/much over here?Nearest I could find easily on Google was this:http://www.amazon.co.uk/hippsy-ORIGINALS-kidney-lower-back-warmer/dp/B007XYZOUM
QuoteI'm curious to know what's in the pot in the middle of the coldframe?Its a rather poorly charm chrysanthemum that was getting in my way in h greenhouse.It might survive, I was hoping it would send up some basal growth so that I could take cuttings, but I am not very optimistic!

Looks like a boob tube that slipped a bit
Yup, that's exactly what they looked like! For anyone with Damarts they would be fine, but personally I only wear Long Johns / Thermal underwear in perishingly cold weather, whereas this "kidney tube" :) could be worn at any time that the back should not be exposed to wind etc.For me it my neck, if I go out without a scarf I have to turn my whole body to look sideways for a couple of days :(
So far I have only planted peppers, chillies, melons and tomatoes and they are indoors. The problem is that I am running out of room!
Thanks, everyone. I've now planted potato onion 'Green Mountain' seeds which arrived in the post yesterday. Seven lines of TPS went in yesterday, and are now sitting on the windowsill. three more arrived this morning, and will join them shortly.

Seven lines of TPS went in yesterday, and are now sitting on the windowsill. three more arrived this morning, and will join them shortly.I'm on my 3rd year with Kelly Winterton's potato onions! The seeds he sent me only made one surviving onion in the first year probably due to the weather. I replanted it last year and it made 5 decent sized onions - unfortunately two of them rotted in storage but I've potted up the remaining 3 and they've made good roots in the greenhouse. If all goes well this year I should have 15 of them or so. With any luck I will be able to actually eat one to see if they taste any good next year (year 5!)They are a brilliant concept - but growing them from seed and multiplying them up to a decent amount is definitely a labour of love.
