Spent the day playing around with little bolts to put this together. Should extend my growing window by a month, won’t be able to extend end of season I think though.

Looks at post

Looks at calendar

Looks at thermometer, showing 79°F at nearly 9PM

Looks at post again, more confused than before

I'm sorry, being however far North you must be that buying a cold frame in May makes sense for you just doesn't compute for me.

My lawn this morning. Frosty!

Okay, okay, I get it; you live in the Frozen North. Say hi to Santa Claus for me next time you pass him on the street!

Well now it is thanks! Haha. I live in a valley, so I take extra degrees lower. Large city, the official temp is at the airport on the other end of the city.

3 degrees this morning, vehicles have condensation on them, last frost is around May 24 and it can still snow.
