I’ll pass on the 9 degree weather. I’m in Mobile, Al. We freakout when it gets below freezing and stays there for more than half a day. Heaven forbid it snows.

you could use a weed membrane, but i don’t think it has the heat capturing ability of the plastic. plus the weed membranes wear out quickly, i think.
and organic rocks taste best in soup…

yes, parsnips are very winter hardy, i’m just not a big fan of them. good to you and your dogs.

ok. its 9 degrees F right now, if you want to come over and set up the cold frame, we’ll do it. that’s a good idea, i’ll set it up when it warms up a bit.

Thank you…. I have big plans this year… I’m putting your knowledge to use : )
And the dogs are cute as always. Makes me wish my black lab had a buddy. (if only my house was bigger!)

Parsnips too ! Pull them out as you need them…….saw 2 dogs at the local leash free park like yours….its so neat to be home in Canada and meeting all of these “loved” and cared for dogs locally. My own rescue dogs are adjusting to the new “social life” here for canines after being so isolated on the prairies. Happy New Year you guys !

You should put the cold-frame up and just let it sit through the winter. Then each time your back, check the temperature under the cold-frame and temperature under the black plastic. Just call it an experiment and go with it! I bet the cold-frame will heat up the area under it and you can start growing veggies much sooner. If you believe the black plastic is better, Then take me up on the bet, one of us will have bragging rights atleast.
