I just harvested my first salad from my coldframe yesterday. What a treat! I planted bowls of arugula, chard, spinach and mache in early October. It took a little while for them to kick in, but now I have plenty to snip for the next few weeks while waiting for newly-sown bowls of greens to grow. At first I thought my little coldframe was going to be a bust, but now I'm glad I set it up!

Kathicville, can you send a picture , or describe these "bowls" you have planted?
I have lettuce and chard outside, but we've had alot of frost this year for our area (low 20s)
I have a green house for the first time this year and am getting ready to start seeds. I'd like to do some winter stuff to finish up the spring before I plant out the summer stuff.
Any suggestions appreciated! Nancy

Because of the late summer heat I had difficulty getting things started for the cool season and didn't get much harvest during the winter, but once things warmed up a bit I had an excellent collards harvest, also spinach (still going strong) green onions and broccoli and beets and carrots. Planted a lot of garlic - some of it will mature into bulbs, some is planted very close together and I'm harvesting it green.
