We're starting our second year of using our beloved new frame up on the roof. Due to some unexpected aerodynamic qualities of the coldframe design, we’ve found a temporary solution by laying the frame on it’s side. Although this does limit light access (due to mid-afternoon shadows), overall it still gets the job done. Despite the dreary weather, we’ve spent the past month growing some yummy beet and turnip starts as well as lavendar cuttings beneath the frame. Take a look!  |
