The pitch of the coldframe addition to the shed was made the same as that of the roof. It just looked better. Scientifically, it is unnecessary, and probably better to have a lower structure with less square footage to heat by the sun.Pam's English Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359787694149174369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-38101920289845085832021-01-18T17:25:03.472-05:002021-01-18T17:25:03.472-05:00Such a nice recap of your garden in 2020.

I'm paging through seed catalogs now _ its my favorite thing to do this month. I bought two books that I can share with you: "Garden Insects of North America" (a serious tome), and "Gardening Under Cover" (the plants are under cover, not the gardener.

Can you explain why the pitch is so high? Do you grow something in particular that needs that much height? Planning to resist ours along the south wall of our greenhouse in the spring and want to get the best use out of them.

Lovely to see photos of Charm and Billy and I'm pleased to hear that Doodles is enjoying having the company of his new friends. I received an amaryllis for Christmas so I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom, it has two flower buds on it so it should give a good display.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
