Advice

Good morning Tom. I am not sure what you want. Are you going to plant
veggies in the box come spring, or is the box in the green house, how big is
it, and what kind of veggies are you going to put in it?

You might also try the uk.rec.gardening, rec.gardens.edible, and
england.rec.garden newsgroups. There are a lot of nice people there that
know a lot more than I and they are very helpful.

Tom,
It doesn't hurt to ask here, but you may get a better response in
uk.food+drink.misc
which will have a larger percentage of people who understand what you
mean.

A local gardening group might be a better bet, but I know some of us
garden...

But, this is a bit vague. Are you looking for a veggie box to store, or
to grow?

If to store, I've had VERY good results using wicker baskets! I get
easter baskets right after easter when they are on sale, and remove the
handles.

Most become veggie baskets in the 'frige, and a few become cat beds. ;-)

Cats love baskets almost as much as they love boxes. <G>

Let me know if you are looking to grow. I have an awesome URL on file
for "pop up" cold frame covers!

I believe he's talking about those co-ops you join and
you get a share of the produce every week.

(laugh) You're on! Here's my clue ... he said he just moved
to Northampton ... why say where if all he wanted were
plans to a cold frame? Huh? Is there something about the
place that needs a special cold frame?

Big Tom, please come back and clear this up?

Doug,

vegetable box. Google is your friend.

Ah ha....but what about Northampton, Massachusetts, where a cold frame would
most certainly be useful for 4 months of the garden year?

Yet it wouldn't be useful three miles to the west in ... Westhampton?
And what would make it special just for vegetables? Can't start
flowers in them. Huh huh?
