Today's warm and balmy weather only serves to intensify yesterdays dreams of Spring. Knowing how fickle the weather is and remembering the loss of so many seedlings to late-season freezes over the years, I've begun to consider the possibility of building a "Cold Frame". After a little research, I'm leaning toward this design found at "Instructables". It makes use of old, discarded windows and I happen to have some.
Then there was this super-sized one posted by the TV show "This Old House". It could even be made using old French doors.
But I think my favorite site is this one by "Dummies". The instructions are perfectly detailed and quite elementary. (Besides, I like the little bunnies.)
But, if you are not so handy with a hammer or just don't have the urge to build, like I do, there are several sites that offer lots of easy-to-assemble kits like this Mini Green House.
If you have even grander visions for getting a jump on the weather, I found an online catalog offering all kinds of kits for cold frames and greenhouses and you can shop by brand or size or type or usage.
I might be stuck indoors and not feeling one bit better but I can still enjoy the open windows, the warm breeze and busying myself with lists of things I want to do once Spring shows up for real.
