Cold Frame from Pine Needle bales

This is the simple little cold frame I've been using to keep my plants in good shape until it warms up just a bit more. I've used a sewing cutting pad (made of semi-sheer white plastic) as a top when temperatures have required - an old window frame makes a great top too.

I just heard we're expecting to have a warm end to the month, so hopefully I'll be able to put some of these guys in the ground soon. I've got marigold, cupid's dart, crape myrtle and a few different kinds of pepper seedlings I'd like to move into the cold frame. It's a lot and I still haven't sprouted my tomatoes yet! Yikes - gotta get a move on!
