This is a cheeky way to make a little cold frame/container/cloche. It all started when I was in T***o and I noticed how the carpark lights would make awesome little coldframes. Anyways, I thought no more of it. When I arrived home I checked the back of the car and to my suprise there was a car park light!
I ripped out the light fixtures and that left me with the perfect little cold frame! I filled it with some compost and then put some potatoes in it and they shot up like crazy...

They grew so fast that I soon had to remove the top (formerly the bottom) of the lamp to allow the spuds more space to grow...

I then used the top as a cloche for some carrots...

This is a great way to grow if you have limited space and can't afford a proper cold frame or greenhouse or cloche. I advise anyone to give it a go if they too are fortunate enough to find a T***o car park light in the back of their car
I'm gonna try growin radish in it over winter and i'll let ya know how i get on
(thanks)
