coldframe questions....

Hi Dawn,

For your information, I made a cold frame out of hay bales last fall 
to overwinter pots of perennial seedlings and small shrubs. 
Unfortunately, mice found the cold frame and made it their home, 
consuming most of the plants. Most annoying. Hopefully you will not 
have the same experience this time of the year.

I would think a southern exposure is best. You could probably put the 
seedlings out right now, especially if you cover the frame with an 
extra blanket if frost is expected. Keep the seedlings shaded to 
begin with and increase the sun exposure over two weeks or so. Good 
ventilation on sunny days is important. Good luck!
