Wow, Larry, what kind of trap are you setting with all that bait you harvested- rabbit, or a deer pile maybe?

Cold frames, cover with a thick layer of hay when it gets real cold, pull back when warmer or sunny. Hopefully you have them secured for the wind, perfect use for those for sure !

The late crop of broccoli looks nice, I pulled mine over a week ago, still getting some crowns though. Needed to till the garden, thinking frost or it will be too wet.

Man! I was expecting a picture of an old
school bus with plants growing inside of it!

It'll work well. I'm making one for my 7 year old son using some old wooden storm windows that have been stored in the old summer kitchen forever. He wants to try and grow the tallest cornstalk for the Hunterdon Fair next August so we're going to use the cold frame to get an earlier start in the spring.

Might want to add a whole bunch of milk jugs filled with water. Evens the air temp from day to night out.

Ahh, rebar tie wire, the answer to the few things that duct tape can't handle. Around here, it's only good for 1 1/2 seasons - marine/salt air. Good work ! b

No, sir, you make a redneck greenhouse out of Walmart bags.
