These grew over winter in the outside unheated greenhouse. I sowed the seeds around November. If you have outside space or south facing windows- nowās a great time in zone 7-9 to start sowing some things!

The ones which I need to replace are over 10 years old and ones which I inherited- really badly designed with all four sides being pallets and too high to turn or get intoā¦ so I made sure that I designed and built these with the removable fronts to make them functional.
