This last weekend my husband helped me to set up my lettuce cold frame. I had plug trays growing in the greenhouse and I had been waiting for the freezing nights to end. The weather has been quite the roller coaster with the temps up and down every few days. I decided to do the cold frame and plant the little plants. They are just starting to take root in their new home and are already beginning to stand up. This photo is of Swiss Chard, then I have different lettuce types, spinach and Chinese cabbage that go in this frame.

I am so happy to finally be able to start planting. Happy Gardening everyone.
Until next time, this is Sunscape...
Sun. Scape. Ing your day
Awesome! I'd love to grow things in my own garden someday in the future. I currently live in an apartment so can't really do much as the moment! Is it as relaxing as they say it is? I fear I'd end up killing all of my veggies!

I am sure you would enjoy it. I find it very relaxing to be in the gardens tending to all the different plants. I feel very connected to nature then.

Do all plants have to wear cold frames in place of @sunscape.?

I am just protecting them as our nights are still cold but the frames come off in about 2 weeks. It helps me to get an earlier start on growing.

Great post, just what I'm looking for. Is your green house heated? I took your advice and got seeds from Seed Savers Exchange. Any advice on growing I'm all ears.

First off you need to start those eggplant and broccoli seeds asap. They take a long time to grow big enough to plant out. Everything else except the carrots can be sown directly in the ground now as they are cold weather crops. Do the carrots and beans when the soil warms up in about 3 weeks from now. Yes, I do heat my greenhouse with Milkhouse heaters, I have three of them running on the coldest nights trying to keep it around 55. Good luck Mike.
