Cold Frame in the garden

For several years I've been wanting to experiment with a cold frame in the garden, and finally this year I got around to constructing one. Spurred along by having access to Randy's workshop and having dumpster-dived about 99%of the materials used, I dug in just 2 days before the first forecast frosty night. It was hurried, to say the least. A masterpiece, not as much.....


9 lettuces and 3 hearty kales generously donated by way of D.U.G. have become my pets/specimens as we forge ahead into the frigid months to come. The idea here is to cultivate a miniature greenhouse to protect these lucky plants from the inevitable chill of Denver winter. How long it will persevere, remains to be seen.
