Well March is traditionally the time when things start to get really busy in the garden. The end of March and beginning of April is when my wife starts to moan about me spending more time in the garden than in the house.
We have been lucky so far in that March seems to have been pretty mild with some lovely sunny days. Its certainly been sunny enough that two chili plants in my greenhouse are bearing fruit.
However, back to the cold frame, it currently has two trays of onion seedling in which are enjoying the sunlight and the warmth of being in the cold frame. Sadly this is my second batch of onions as the first batch was destroyed by the winds in early March that turned most of my vegetable patch upside down.
I had hoped to have some cauliflowers in the cold frame by now but due to the wind incident the cauliflower has had a later start in the seed bed as the onions are still in the cold frame.
In a week or so it will be time to open the cold frame a little and harden off the onions before planting them out.
With two tough polycarbonate, fully adjustable "lights" and ample growing space within it makes the perfect compliment to any garden.
But don’t just believe us, this is by far our most popular product. Its combination of good looks, keen price and functional design make it a real winner.
