Hi, Valerie, I'm wanting to do the same thing. Some of my neighbors are
getting ready to replace their double-paned windows. They said I could have
a couple of them. Unfortunately, now it look like they're going to have to
wait until spring or later. Bummer! I would love to have fresh greens,
especially, instead of those slimy things you get in the grocery store.

I even went ahead and ordered a heat-activated device to lift the window
(lid) when it gets too warm. No power source necessary, as it is a
gas-charged cylinder, adjustable:

AM401  Window Opener         $39.00
from Lee Valley Tools

Anyway, the Rebecca's Garden has a plan for a cold frame at:

They also have a budget one, but I don't think this plan is as good. Also,
there aren't any pictures like on the first plan:

Tell us how it goes!!!
