I am about to take possession of an ex-display Access 4’x4’cold frame and wondered what would be the best use of it over winter on my allotment. I’m considering using it as a cloche for now, maybe over some sprouting broccoli with the top glass replaced with insect mesh to allow the rain through? (My broccoli went in very late after the runner beans finished).
Anyone got better ideas? Or would it be best to wait for February and use it for bringing on seedlings? I do not have a greenhouse/tunnel.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. This will be my first experience of growing under glass.
Thank you
Jan
