Did you know that the warmest spot in your garden is a micro-climate just outside your window? The Middle-Sized Garden 2023-04-05 | If you want to keep borderline tender plants safe, then use the space nearest to your house wall. Walls absorb sunlight during the day, and have some retained heat from your heating too, so it creates a micro-climate. Plants emerge earlier nearer to the house than further away. See how my plants emerge several weeks early if they're kept in a pot close to the wall.
