Mine are in a polytunnel but I tend to leave one door open overnight because I can't guarantee opening it early enough the next day that they won't cook. I think this is why people dig those semi subterranean polytunnels/greenhouses so the beds retain heat and the cold wells in the bottom of the footway.

 

I think that's probably right. Plus they gain a little extra height inside. Plus there's less glass required. Plus it probably won't get so hot in the blazing sun.

Ground temperature is more stable about 1m down so another... Plus the winter and spring temperatures are higher

Right then, I'm off out to dig a couple of feet out of the bottom of my greenhouses.

All sounds very grave.

I'd hope to be a little deeper than 2' when it's my time.
