I love cold frames. Our neighbor when I was a kid grew everything, he had a couple cold frames. One was half into the ground he could walk down into when he raised the top sections. Another smaller one was made of discarded storm windows sat on the ground.
I used the smaller one as a model for mine when I moved to this house. It was made from scavenged material because I enjoy making stuff for free. I'm also the cheapest so & so around, lol. The cold frame evolved as parts were replaced but it always accommodated at least 7 flats.
This was the last one before spring overhaul 2005. Pretty isn't it? lol. It sits in the back yard, used for only a few weeks, who needs pretty. I don't grow enough to warrant one any more.
