Cloches are disclosed for growing plants in desert areas where only salt water or brackish water is available. The cloches disclosed include a housing defining growing space for a plant or plants and a reservoir for water within the housing, the arrangement being such that water can be evaporated from the reservoir into the housing by solar energy to condense subsequently within the housing and water the plant or plants therein.
