Re: Cold Frame

Thanks to all who responded to the cold frame question.  The reference to 
the pamphlet on Building and Using Cold Frames touched a memory and sure 
enough I have not one, but two copies of this publication.  I pulled it 
out and read it and also checked gardening catalogs for the automatic 
opener.  The publication gave plans for a 3 x 6 foot box which I think I 
could rapidly fill up, but it would be a start.  Since I work during the 
day I think the automatic opener would be essential.  I also liked the 
idea of the tempory cold frame made from straw.  Since we have sheep 
extra bales of hay are usually available in the spring.  So that is a 
possibility if all I need is to harden of the young plants rather than 
actually extend the season.  Of course that would leave me with manually 
adjusting the window covering.
