Here is my handy-dandy cold frame. Made from recycled cedar, and two re-purposed glass doors from
IKEA. I planted the bed in early November with arugula, lettuce, and spinach. They sprouted within a few weeks. I was all set to harvest through the winter, and then December turned frigid and my little sprouts shriveled up. In January, the whole cold frame was buried in snow. I thought for sure my adventures in winter farming were over. Imagine my delight when I looked in the cold frame after the February thaw and so an abundance of fresh greens!
What a nice surprise. I have to plant blackberry vines today. Reba bought some over yestersay. Just wish Dustin didn't have to work so he could help me.
