Acquired a Halogen oven to replace the one I'm using which is showing signs of giving up the ghost.
As you may know, they have a huge glass bowl which holds the food and a lid which contains the heating element. Most of them have a metal extender ring which sits on top of the glass bowl and under the lid to give greater oven capacity. Every time I acquire another halogen oven, the only bit that gets binned is the heating element - so I have at least 4 glass bowls and other bits lying around. Two bowls are in the garden for the animals to drink from, one is in the GH with a few plants in pots inside, and I did plant one with amaryllis bulbs last year.
Today, I realised that I could use them as "cloches" over frost tender seedlings by putting the extender ring around the plant and resting the glass bowl on top. That'll be tomorrow's experiment!
