Cold Frame on a Warm Day
The main garden job of the Bank Holiday weekend so far was building a cold frame so that we don’t have to keep running out to the greenhouse in the morning to take all the plants out and the evening to put them back again. It also creates more space in the greenhouse for more plants!
The cold frame sits nicely in front of the greenhouse, and takes seven seed trays. The sides are attached using wing nuts so that we will be able to dismantle and store it in around a month’s time. We built the frame from scratch using wooden planks and battens and painted it a nice chalky green colour.
Unexpectedly for Glasgow at the end of April, we have had two consecutive days with bright blue skies, endless sunshine and 16-18 degrees C. I’m glad I took a flexi day yesterday!
Been watching Monty then? Nice looking cold frame. Mangaged to cook my very tiny celery seedlings by leaving them in our little greenhouse last week.
