Many people ask "What is a Cold Frame?" Cold frame farming is similiar to a greenhouse. But unlike just using a greenhouse for starting saplings in containers, with a coldframe you plant directly into the ground as soon as you can work the soil. The sides of a coldframe typically roll completely up and both ends open. The benefits of coldframe farming are you can extend your season by planting early and harvesting later into the season. You can grow items that typically might not grow in the region because you have more control of the elements. Your plants are protected during harsh weather and animals. Your vegetables have more of a field taste because they are planted into the soil rather than containers. Our coldframe is almost 3,000 square feet and we have many veggies growing right now!
