I bought a cold frame yesterday and will be attempting the self-assembly in the next few days and photos will follow. I haven't decided what I'm going to grow in it yet - I've never had one before - I'll probably just use it to get seedlings started off.
I also bought a long, plastic cloche. I intend to sow parsnip seeds tomorrow, weather permitting, and I'll put the cloche over the parsnip-strip to protect it from the forecasted return of winter.
This is such an exciting time of year, full of plans and dreams of bumper crops - before the reality of pests and drought kick in. One of my beds will be home to the Three Sisters; sweetcorn, squash and beans which, so I've read, love to be planted together. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
This YouTube video explains the reasons for Three Sisters planting.
