Also, I believe the other cold frames we made a couple years ago (if there still any good. I doubt if they are.) are at Mr. Jacobson’s. I’ll do my best to go out and check on them and try to bring them down next time I’m out that way.

Oh, and about my comment about not baking the seedlings; it would be a good idea to put some sort of thermometer down in there that y’all can check to make sure it isn’t too hot or cold (I don’t think too cold will be a problem, though. The weight of that wood chip mulch will cause it to decompose, which will mean it will release heat. Your problems are gonna come from too much heat, I think.).

May I suggest trying to put some hinges on the window? There will be some days when the window will need to be propped open a few inches so you don’t bake the seedlings. Also, right now is actually not the time to start the cabbage family from seed; the sowing date for the cabbage family is usually around Thanksgiving. Right now is almost the right time to put cabbages etc. in the garden, with protection from hard freezes. Other than these things, this video was really great!
