Thought I'd throw up some pics of the cold frame I slapped together on my south-facing front porch.

It's mostly made from windows I scavenged this year. There's a bank of them snugged up against the front railing, there are ones on each side held in place with cinder blocks, and the one in back is resting on what I'm using for thermal mass.

It's a row of those Tidy Cats litter tubs filled 3/4 up with water and stuffed into black plastic contractor bags. The plastic bags not only help with the absorption of solar heat, but also fill in the spaces between the tubs. They're only filled 3/4 full because they're inevitably going to freeze at some point--some will crack at the bottom seam but most will make it. I do have plans to go out this weekend on a Styrofoam panel scavenging mission--you know, after people blow all their money on new tvs and stuff on black friday and throw the packaging away. Then I'll insulate the back of the thermal shelf to direct the heat all inward.

The top is just a shower door plus a small window. I can shift/lift them for harvesting and watering.

I've got two regular sized Earthboxes and two smaller in there. The smaller ones are on the ledge and the larger are on the concrete. I've got several lettuces, several spinaches, Swiss chard, and some teeny kale seedlings going. The kale is teeny because the @#@^=$_!! midnight wildlife tore apart the initial transplants when I first planted them in the boxes back in September and I had to restart from seed.

It took me a solid month to work up the energy to put this all together, but only an hour or two to construct. Thankfully, autumn seems to be on a one month delay this year except for one or two short dips below freezing. Looking forward to at least a weekly salad for as long as we don't have another "arctic blast" like we did last year.

#cold frames #they can be as simple and janky as this one and still work to extend your growing season #i'm going to try to get my hands on some more lumber this next year so i can build panels i can just snap together #but this year all the lumber went to the new chicken coop/run and rebuilding the rotting back stairs that i kept slipping and falling on #gardening #extending the growing season #lettuce #spinach #kale #swiss chard #i ran out of room or the green onions would also be out there #instead they're in a basement window

Here's all of the baby plants I found in the garden in early March:

Tiny baby swiss chard planted in the fall, it should start growing properly when it gets warm. Spinach already seems super ready to grow.

These are broccoli, they haven't gotten established properly, so I doubt I'll be able to harvest anything, I planted them way too late in the fall. I'll try them again next year. Strawberries, on the other hand, have started growing new leaves and getting ready for the spring!

I've also found some onions, garlic, leek and chives growing, and some small but very pretty cabbages!

I doubt they will manage to form a head, but I can just eat them as they are and be pleased because they're fresh and tasty. I'll let them grow for a bit longer. I just need to harvest them before it gets warm because they will try to go to seed.

2023 garden update

Somethings going right, at least.

The heavy mulch is working a treat! Very minimal weeding in the big bed. (Some grass is growing, but it's not bad). We've had some very hot days that would normally make the plants sad and it seems the mulch has also kept the roots happy and cool, so the plants have been happy.

We do have squash bugs this year, but I've been cutting out the eggs when I find them and stuffing them (and their parents when I can) into a bucket with a lid. It has definitely been making a difference. Grasshoppers, locust, and aphids have been an issue on a few plants, but they were planted deliberately to take those pests away from others. So far so good.

The Swiss Chard is so eye catching that you sometimes see them among ornamental flowers in garden borders, but they really belong in the vegetable garden. Our kitchen garden has its own display of multicoloured Swiss Chard (Beta vulgaris). Many of our familiar leafy greens all belong to this single species despite their diverse tastes and physical appearances. Swiss Chard, Beetroot, Perpetual Spinach, Sugar Beet, and Manglewurzel (a leaf and root crop grown as animal feed) are all Beta vulgaris. The wild ancestor of all these useful plants is the Sea Beet (Beta vulgaris subspecies maritima), a plant that grows at the seaside all over Europe and Western Asia. The Sea Beet had been domesticated and bred for leaf-bearing or root-bearing cultivars by the time of the Ancient Egyptians. The jewel-like colours of beet roots and chard stems comes from Betalain pigments instead of anthocyanins. Medical studies have shown that these natural phytonutrient pigments have anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties when consumed. These plants not only brighten up your plate and garden, but also light the path to better health!

I had my last day at the farm on Friday and I ended up crying about it when I said all my goodbyes and was the last one in the barn. I'll definitely be back for one reason or another but still. Here are some shots of the last day 💜
