    Turn it into a small bog garden and stick in interesting plants.

          More than welcome. It's one of many projects that I just can't seem to completely finish off

          It's also the fact that you have enough property for the wallipini plus plus plus that I envy.

            Aha! Yes, I have to say I'm very fortunate, especially in Surrey where everything has a premium, but we unusually found ourselves in the right play and right time. Never happened before or since

              How was growing in it in 2025? Enough light?
              Does is keep warm temperature during this frosty time?

                  Brilliant as it goes! I didn't overdo it last season but everything seemed to grow and produce well, we even got a few bonus plants from seeds leftover from the previous year. Did have an issue with red spider mite so I'll look at a biological control for that this year.

                  Temperature wise, it's 'ok' in there but not warm. Ventilation is high which keeps it cooler than it would be if I'd closed it all up
