Crocuses and Homemade Cold Frame



Okay, I am not handy or crafty. My talents revolve around words, so keep that in mind as you look at my homemade coldframe. It is two bendable squares of trellis covered with fabric floating row cover. The frames are clipped together with plastic clips on the inside, and then the fabic is attached on the ourside with clothespins. It's not elegant, I know, but the fabric is easily raised to let off heat. The two pieces sit side by side, so I can remove one if needed. I could not find a coldframe that would fit my garden bed size, so I had to create my own. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. Also, the crocuses are blooming. These photos are from a few days ago. Happy spring!
