A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Cold frame for my tomatoes

Gosh what a nice setup you have there for tomatoes.
Wish it was mine.
Plants look good too.
Right now mine are inside in a sunny room. When it is nice out , I put them on the porch.
My flowers also.

Did you germinate them outside?

Tx.

Hehe…

>Plants look good too.

Yep; thank you Big Bloom.

>Did you germinate them outside?

No, I bought the seedlings. It’s too pain in the * to make my own seedlings. I know there are many advantages, but without a dedicated sunny place – not a small window – I don’t want to make seedlings. It’s very easy to grow leggy seedlings.

Very nice set up, Daniel. Do you grow other plants? Can you tell us a bit about yourself? Where are you in NY? I am in Rockland County on the border of NJ.

Yes, cucumbers.

Yesterday my seedlings looked like this:







Today they look like this:







What happened was a malfunction of openining the lid – not Univent’s fault, my improvisation’s fault, trying to open bigger.

Few hours later, when I came home the lid was closed and 137’ F inside.

What do you think I could do?

Back to square one:

I think you chose wisely. These are now loooking as good as the previous ones---I hope this time goles better for you.

and I too love your "outfit"....I wish you much luck with it..
keep us posted on it's progress...
