we were recently given a cold frame. i'm so excited to be able to start seeds early and the prospect of having leafy greens all winter. (the previous owner, who lives 2 miles away, said that she was able to do this!)
we have a perfect spot for it (it is rather large though)
first things first, i had to remove the rocks from the spot i wanted to place the cold frame. Josh recommended that i use the wheel barrel and not buckets and the wagon, my usual way. yes usual, i have move rocks from near this same area to use in other projects around here. so i grabbed the wheel barrel and started shoveling.
guess who overfilled the wheel barrel, yup, this girl!! i ended up having to shovel some (ok, most) into 5 gallon buckets and i used the lawn tractor to transport them.
While i was doing all the shoveling, Brutus showed us how to enjoy a sunny, warm day. lucky dog!
Boomer thought he would 'help' by snatching my gloves and running. Thanks buddy!
Here it is in it's spot! Josh helped move it into place and filled it with soil.
over the next couple days i filled it with seeds. now the wait for them to sprout.
and just to keep it real, guess what didn't happen while i spent the day outside?
