Hello DDL, a Sitooterie is a place where you sit oot (sit out in the sunshine)

Jennie, I really wouldn't go for the paraffin heater. The moisture is given off by the gallon, the smell of paraffin is everywhere , you have to leave the vents open all the time and there is no way to control the temperature - up or down.

I use an electric fan heater. Electricity is expensive so I keep everything indoors as long as possible - I do have good windowsills. Then put them in the greenhouse about March and the electricity bill seems to be OK - well as OK as it ever is !!

I don't use the sulphur bombs. I just go for ordinary domestic hygeine - clear out the rubbish and give it a scrub. But we don't have the infestations of whitefly etc. Probably at your climes you don't have them either.
