Cold Frame Attempt

This is what I finagled to keep the snow off my blooming bulbs. I made a second one and scraped all the leaves off the first planting bed. The sides are open, so it will really only raise daytime temps a little, help dry out the planting bed and keep off snow. I used four windows that have been languishing in my basement for over a year. I'll be using two more to fix the wall of the shed I kind of left open over the winter.

Note to me, the lettuce and tomatoes came up Friday, but I missed the lettuce for a bit too long and some of it got leggy before going under lights. I might just leave it as I'll be planting some more next week anyway. So far nothing on the strawberries.
