Free: Tatty mini greenhouses /cold frames x2 (Didcot OX11) Gifted Two mini greenhouses/coldframes. Quite tatty/grubby. The one on the right hand side of the photo os in better condition but the struts used to hold the upper panes open for ventiliation dont work well any more, I used to use a stick to prop it open. Has three shelves. The one on the left is currently up on its end, it is a low frame with an opening top. Has damage to the polycarbonite panel where an over-enthusiastic chubby cat jumped on it. Any good to anyone before they go to the bin?
