Cold Frame Progress

It's been about a month since I planted some kale under the glass and its looking pretty good.



I absolutely love this kale! We collected the seeds from our biennial kale in its second season.  It grows a thick almost shrub like trunk at the base and sprouts new leaves late into the fall. The flavor is less bitter than most store bought kale and it self seeds like crazy.

In the center you can see some baby cabbages.  It may look really crowded in there but the cabbage is an early maturing miniature cabbage.

very cool. I've been interested in building a cold frame, but don't know how. Thanks for sharing!
