Hi All.

I'm wondering which is the best position around my site to place my coldframe...if it's in the sunshine all day the plants seem to suffer and wilt....would it do better in the cooler full shade...or semi-shade (through a hedge)?.
Many thanks
Tom.

I would go for the hedge shade as if it is deciduous then the light will vary according to the time of year as leaves grow. Automatic shading. :D
