I have a 3m long polythene cloche, and I'm wondering if I can use it to good effect in the veg patch now? Is there anything that would usually not like being sown in August that I could in fact grow just fine under the cloche? I'm thinking mainly of leaf crops but I'll consider anything!

Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch? -
We used to use fleece on our cloches in summer as the plastic ones do tend to get a lot of condensation and bake/ wilt seedlings, even with open ends.
With fleece they are brill against pests like flea beetle!
Not sure what you could sow, but I thought I'd just mention that!
Lambs lettuce and pak choi come to mind."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Thanks Nicos
I've never grown pak choi before, though I think I crashed and burned with Lambs Lettuce one year, so I might give them a whirl. Thanks for the fleece tip. I'm a wee bit confused though - would fleece not make it even warmer inside the cloche and so cook the seedlings even more? Or does it act as a shade?
