It is a few weeks closer to planting season here.  I am getting so excited I can hardly contain myself.

I’m itching to start a few seeds outdoors but I know what happens.  I always jump the gun with my excitement.  The nights have freezing temps and my seedlings die.

Building a cold frame out of straw bales and old windows is going to do the trick for me.  After I am finished using the straw bales for cold storage I will be constructing a straw bale garden with the bales.

The straw bales will absorb the sun when it’s out and radiate heat when it’s dark. Giving plants a steady temperature resulted in, again, a genius way to solve my need for a cold frame.
