My mother bought me the book "Window-box allotment" by Penelope Bennett.
She actually has a roof garden measuring 5 x 2.5 metres (16 x 8 feet) - so one pretty big window box! But that is not what I have found annoying as it will still be useful for me with my small area of garden that gets the sun.
No, it is her instructions for growing tomato seeds:
".....it is time for them to go outside. First into a miniature outdoor 'greenhouse' (ie a large plastic cloche), but only for choicest slice of the day - its middle. Then back they come in the late afternoon."
Despite the high unemployment figures and the rising number of people who work at home, including presumably Penelope Bennett, large numbers of us go out to work. We are not around to take plants out late morning and back in again early afternoon!
Grrrr!
