You do not need to construct a proper frame to get the same services of a
cold frame. Find a suitable, south/southeast facing locations and use a
wooden fruit box from the market. Knock the bottom out and sink a few inches
into the soil. You can cover in bad weather with some rigid plastic or
whatever you have around the house.
Learning the many advantages of a cold frame need not be a huge project.
Many gardeners around here plant tropical vegs in five gallon pails with the
bottoms cut off. Whatever works!
