My hubby was able to salvage a bunch of windows from a house that is to be torn down. I can't get to it this year, but I'll have time this summer to build some amazing cold frames!!

I can't wait to have early starts for the garden and greens well into winter.

That's great! Depending on the frames and your climate, you may not need to do much construction to get them garden-ready. I yanked aluminum framed windows out of my house to replace with vinyl and the 4 footers now are parked under the eaves in the garden. When I need the protection I just throw them on top of my raised beds. Of course I live in a mild climate.

Great find. Hope they work well for you.

You can also use cold frames to get your garden started earlier in the spring.

My head is bursting with all the possibilities. Hubby was actually able to return to the house for more windows--enough for a greenhouse. I just might swoon!
