We thought a cold frame was a good idea for Dan’s pumpkins but what a price they are – especially considering many of them are just glorified boxes with see-through lids… so it was off to the treasure trove sheds again. Calls of ‘I’ve found panes of glass’ and ‘ooh, windows’ resounded round the garden.
Then on with construction – learning about levels. It’s just as well Davie was here to supervise the project. I would probably just have nailed the four windows together and laid a pane of glass on top (he thought I was joking when I said that but I really wasn’t!!).
Then Charlotte and I headed out to the garden centre (have found a new, very reasonable one nearby) for growbags to fill the frame with… Charlotte bought some strawberry plants too (edit in 2009, these have now spread over a large area, 3 little plants turning into at least 50)
Frame progresses:
Ta-da!
