Garden Cold Frames

“Cold frames provide valuable extra space for young or overwintering plants if your greenhouse is full. And they’re a good option if you don’t have room for a greenhouse. In early spring a cold frame is an ideal ‘half-way house’ between greenhouse and garden for plants that need hardening off. Cold frames are best sited against a sheltered south facing wall or fence to get as much heat and light as possible. When choosing a cold frame, make sure the lid can be propped open for good ventilation during the day. “ Expert advice from Jackie Whittaker, garden writer for Garden News. A cold frame can open a new dimension in gardening – giving the benefits of a longer season, enabling you to grow earlier, later, bigger and better crops, as well as raising more of your own flowers and shrubs. A cold frame can also be a halfway house for plants in the spring, when they move from the warmth and protection of your greenhouse into the cooler conditions of your garden. A cold frame provides you with a place to ‘harden-off’ these young, tender plants before you plant them out. Let your plants get used to the cooler conditions – leaving the cold frame lid closed for the first few days and then starting to open the frame to get the plants used to cooler temperatures. About two weeks in a cold frame usually prepares your plants sufficiently to be planted into your garden.
