The Sunday Gardener has finally parted with the cash and purchased a paraffin greenhouse heater. Said to produce warmth and moisture the idea is to extend the growing season, even out day and night temperatures and keep the plants snug.

Maybe this year the Squashes will reach a decent size and The Sunday Gardener will blog whether the heater makes a difference, how much and if it was worth the cost......I got it from www.greenhousepeople.co.uk called Parasene Big Red paraffin  heater - so watch this space to see how it does over the coming growing season.
