I hadn't thought of the mould, but I would have expected them to either dry out (but I guess the rain gets all around them anyway) or burn up in the sun (probably winter sun not strong enough?). Well done!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-74166156057405110302016-03-17T15:59:47.017-07:002016-03-17T15:59:47.017-07:00Some great ideas - especially like the ingenious m...Some great ideas - especially like the ingenious method of sowing the seeds in the depression and later filling it in.

It probably helps that the cloches (bottles) have openings at the top to allow for ventilation.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-68305843844175542832016-03-17T05:20:07.594-07:002016-03-17T05:20:07.594-07:00It must be to do with differences in the weather b...It must be to do with differences in the weather between your part of the world and mine, but I found that when I grew plants like that they succumbed to mould or fungal diseases because the cloches were too humid. I raise mine in little pots now, and plant them out when they have at least two proper leaves.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
