Cold Frames

A while back we recounted how the winds took out a couple of our coldframes and beat on a number of our plants. The picture below shows the plastic covered cold frames that we have relied on the past couple of years to begin the process of hardening off plants for production or sale. And, if you look carefully - you'll see our NEW cold frames made out of salvaged storm windows and wood.

Don't get us wrong - the original structures have done fine for us. But, the covers only last through a season or two (at best). And a wind tends to bend up the light metal tubing. We have enough tubing for six of these at least - but only enough *unbent* tubing for four.

Our thanks to Dad for these structures that are already working out wonderfully. The windows are hinged in the back so they can be lifted up and attached to the wall behind it.
