COLD FRAMES

BY GRETEL ANSPACH

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 16TH, 

Lancaster Community Center

 Cold frames and hoop houses are great season extenders, allowing vegetables to be planted 2-4 weeks earlier than unprotected plants. They also play a key role in the transition of seedlings of all kinds from the sheltered windowsill or greenhouse environment to the outdoors. Learn how, where, and when to use these interesting tools in your own garden.
