Great reminders! My cold frames are filled with spinach, thyme, green onions, mache, parsley, and carrots. I'm still unsure of myself on this, but trying. They’re certainly not perfect!
I tried hoops and plastic row covers last year and found that I ended up providing a breeding ground for slugs. Is that better or not as much of an issue in a cold frame? I also added leaf mulch and I think that was part of the issue.

Sounds like you are doing great so far! I'm interested to know how the thyme goes. I've never tried that one in the winter.
Great information! Thank you!
You're welcome!
incredible. Fresh produce year round!! Thank you for sharing! Timing really is everything. Hoping to follow you and succeed this winter 🙏🏾
I hope it works out for you!
Awesome info indeed 🌱🌱 Thnx a mil
You're welcome!
How does the cold frame keep the ground from freezing? Is it just the cover that keeps it warm?
Do you still need to water the plants during the day?

You will need to deal with slugs in a cold frame too. I'd suggest traps and Sluggo to deal with them.
could you do the same thing with a green house?
Yes you can. but it does work better if you can plant in the ground and not in containers.
can 6a zone work ?
Yes, you are super close to my zone so pretty much what I talked about in this video will work the same in your zone.
