Cold Frame Workshop

Saturday December 4, 2010 was a cold and snowy day on the mountian but we were warm and comfortable in Betty’s studio.


8 of us came out to learn about building cold frames. Jim Curtis led the workshop. He brought his experience and very helpful tips to our class. Jim first reminded us that lots of items can become a cold frame. Milk jugs, water jugs, the large ones used in water coolers. Real simple. Jim shared his success stories and a failure or 2.
Your first cold frame can be a square of cinder blocks, which will hold the heat and a cast off storm door window. You can then progress on to cypress boards and hardware cloth. Before you know it you could be eating greens much later into the growing season.


Thank you Jim for a fun class and a great handout.
