Dimensions: 48 long x 19 wide x 36 high I’m confident this frame will work HOWEVER I’m hoping to grow some veggies that I really “shouldn’t” be growing in the middle of winter – so thats…

turned out really nice. the slab wood looked nice to me. rainy here in Syr
too, had a few moments of sunshine today though (moment=seconds). We have
alot of old wood windows, do the sides have to be done in wood or could you
do a cold frame out of all glass windows like a greenhouse? That turned out
excellent-typing, listening, looked up and thought WoW, nice.
@skybirdbird thanks birdy, I really hope I can get some winter tomatoes but
I know its a long shot! I’m sure I’ll be getting weeds – THANKFULLY NO!
slugs and snails… I’ll just make an effort to keep an eye on it and weed
it – since its not that big I should be alright… I’m actually most
concerned with where I put it, not the best light, but I didn’t have any
other options with it being close to the house… soooo we’ll see. -TEW
@commando602 Don’t worry I’m not one of these EMO hurt feelings kinda
youTube guy… but you know the shorts and Hawiian shirt video is now on my
list! >: ) -TEW
@theeastwatch – lol, If you want but I was referring to the way you were
holding the chainsaw…lol, Kinda scary…Just being silly, Didn’t mean
anything by it.
@700eyesonly007 thanks for the kind words… Not sure about an all glass
one because remember the frame is actually holding about 18″ of soil – so I
would think glass would not be ideal for that structurally, especially
during the winter months. Don’t forget you need access to the plants, a lot
of peeps do hoop and dome cold frames, I don’t want to be rolling or tieing
flaps or hobbled over crawling around inside it, ESP during frigid winter
days – I want something I can get in and get out. -TEW
lookin really good eastie … i can tell you’re a thinkin man… can’t wait
to see how it does …just one note on horse poo… weeds… may not matter
since it will have so much soil on top …but not sure …rabbit poo ROCKS!

Hahaha .. there’s only one Karmagirl baby!!! 😀 I’m sure it’s very heavy!!
Lets see how those ticket growing plants turn out. Do you have a beard??

@TimeTraveler651 Sorry I only deal with poop filled frames. Seeing as they
are grounding UPS planes with bombs right now, best not to ship anything…

@skybirdbird I tried cutting down a can of beer, and leaving some in it; to
set on the ground. They climbed in, got drunk and passed out. =) Nobody
likes that last bit of warm beer anyway. lol It worked.
