Cold frames

Cold frames http://web.me.com/mtmanners/Site/Our_Gallery/Pages/Cold_Frames.html Last winter I experimented with a small cold frame kit that Lucy and I put together. I tested the temperature range with a data recorder before putting in the seeds. It was fun and very much a miracle to see the way things sprouted in the cold of winter. This year, I built a much bigger cold frame. It houses the Rainbow chard and Kale that we grew this past summer and hope to keep on through this winter. We’ll let you know how it grows... how it goes. I’m using the data recorder to track the temperature inside and outside the cold frame. A special THANK YOU to my dad and Bob Gorder, mi cuñado, for their inspiration and guidance.
