🌱 The goal is to have the plants at about 80-90% maturity when you put the cold frame structures in place.

🥗 During the cooler months, the plants in the cold frames won't be doing much growth but will be sitting there waiting for you to harvest them.

🏠 Cold frame structures can range from elaborate glass structures to simple wooden or plastic boxes with a window or plastic on top.

🌿 The largest structure in the garden is a greenhouse kit that can be harvested in January and February and provides extra insulation with its two layers of UV resistant plastic.

💡 Another effective structure is a cold frame made from cut-off 55 gallon plastic barrels, which are easily mobile and perfect for planting spinach or a whole block of lettuce.

🔲 Found materials like cement blocks and old doors or window frames can be used to create simple and cost-effective cold frame structures.

🌸 There are a variety of structure options available for cold frames, ranging from expensive ones to more budget-friendly options, so consider your space and budget when making a choice.
