RE: I Built a Cold Frame Garden Box for Hardening the Summer Garden Seedlings

in Build-It5 years ago

OK - I'm inspired! I need to build the shade-house version of this for hot tropical climate in Thailand, but fundamentally the same.

Simple, clear and soooo necessary to get those babies off to a string start, especially in a short growing season.

Awesome :) I've had the plants out there for 2 days and nights, they're doing well, enjoying the warmth and more light, they'll be climatized quickly. Most of the plants we had on the south side of the house window sill, but the sun is so high in the sky already that it was barely coming in the windows, it's nice to have them out of the house too. The lettuce in the climate here likes partial shade, i have some shade netting that I'll be covering their garden row box with for shading. The tomato, pepper, and other fruiting plants we have to start a few months before the short season for a good harvest. I'm looking forward to when the gardens fill in, they always start out the season looking so sparse :)
