It's time for the cold frames and the winter garden. Winter gardening has it's perks. There's less bugs, less watering (because I only use the cold frames) and I love to eat what grows in winter: fresh lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, parsnips, etc. It's also amazing how little is needed to make a cold frame. These are made using old trailer windows we found in the trash. The sides are wide open and it does not matter one bit.

I like your blog. :-)
Jugs or bottles filled with water & painted a matte black under those frames would also be useful for staving off the frost on cold nights.
They'd be passive heat sinks for the sun's heat during the day that would provide a zone of protection around them when the temperature drops a bit low at night.
