A traditional homemade cold frame In agriculture and gardening, a cold frame is a transparent-roofed enclosure, built low to the ground, used to protect plants from adverse weather, primarily excessive cold or wet. The transparent top admits sunlight and prevents heat escape via convection that would otherwise occur, particularly at night. Essentially, a cold frame functions as a miniature greenhouse to extend the growing season. Historically, cold frames were built to be used in addition to a heated greenhouse.

The name itself exemplifies the distinction between the warm greenhouse and the unheated cold frame. They were frequently built as part of the greenhouse's foundation brickwork along the southern wall (in northern latitudes). This allowed seeds to be germinated in the greenhouse and then easily moved to the attached cold frame to be "hardened-off"coldframe.org.uk before final planting outside.
|
|
They can be planted in the spring, when new roots have grown. It is better to sow the ripe seed, after collection from the plant. Seed should be sown in trays within a cold frame, then the seedlings, can be pricked out, when they are large enough to be handled. They are then grown on within a greenhouse or cold frame, for another year.
|
|
Cold frames can be used to extend the growing season for many food and ornamental crops, primarily by providing increased warmth in early spring. This means that it's possible to harvest vegetable crops ahead of their normal season when they are extremely expensive to buy. Some crops suitable for growing in a cold frame include lettuces, parsley, salad onions, spinach, radishes and turnips etc. One vegetable crop can occupy the whole of a cold frame or a combination of crops can be grown so that they mature in rotation in order to get a wide range of different vegetables throughout the year from a single cold frame.
|
|
Smaller clumps should be potted and grown in a cold frame until there have formed sufficient roots to survive, they then can be planted in the Spring.
|
|
It can be propagated by division or by seed growing. Seeds are collected from the pods after flowering. Seeds are then sown in containers in a cold frame in autumn.
|
|
When using plastic tents, far less misting is needed (once or twice a day). The greenhouse or cold frame should be ventilated once and a while to prevent formation of molds (manually).
|
|
Then direct sow outdoors in fall (or Autumn), or winter sow in vented containers, in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. They can be used in gardens, at waterside locations beside pools or streams.

|
Seeds need cold stratification, to germinate. They germinate very slowly. In the lab, seeds do not exceed a germination rate of 30%. Seeds should be sown in trays, in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse.

A "bulb frame" is a specialized kind of cold frame, designed for growing hardy or almost hardy ornamental bulbous plants, particularly in climates with wet winters. Typically it is raised further above ground level than a normal cold frame, so that the plants can be seen better when in flower. They are often used for the cultivation of winter-growing bulbs which flower in the autumn or spring. The covers are used in winter to provide some protection from very bad weather, while allowing good ventilation.
|
|
Seed requires stratification to simulate exposure to a cold weather and trigger germination. Some advise to sow in early autumn in a cold frame. Stored seed is sown early in the year in a cold frame. Stratification of 1 month at 3°c is carried out (if sown later than February). ‘Betty Ashburner’ (Rubus x 'Betty Ashburner') is a hybrid of Rubus tricolor and Rubus calycinoides, sometimes referred to as "Creeping Raspberry", although that term is also used to refer to a few other Rubus species, including the parents of the hybrid.

CNPLX: Viola pedunculata - Nursery and Seed Sources . accessed 3.23.2013 The plant prefers rich soil, and no irrigation water in summer, when it is dormant. When cultivated in colder climates outside its native range where not so hardy, it is most successful when propagated in a cold frame.
|
|
It is hardy to European Zone H4. Within UK, it is hardy but is best grown within a well-ventilated cold frame or alpine house. It replicate the natural conditions of hot, dry summers and freezing winters. It is best grown within well drained soils in a sunny situation.
|
|
It can be propagated by division or by seed growing. Division is best carried out after flowering, although can be carried out at any time. Large clumps can be re-planted straight away. While, smaller clumps should be placed in pots, taken to a cold frame to grown in.

Surrounded by a park on the lake, the facilities house over 25,000 exotic plants in about 6,500 species and varieties on , including in six greenhouses, 16 heated cold frame boxes and an outdoor area. The staff consists of nine employees who take care of 50,000 visitors annually. The greenhouses are open daily.

The roots will soon emerge and the new plant can be potted, and prepared for the garden later. Better results are gained if the water, contains lumps of charcoal. To propagate from seed, collect seed from the capsules, when ripe and sow the seeds in vented containers, within a cold frame or in unheated greenhouse.
|
|
They are best germinated using a cold frame. They then can take 3–5 years before reaching flowering stage. Seeds should be harvested from the plant directly after flowering but they must be from mature seed pods. They then should be stored in paper bags, as seed stored in glass containers often goes mouldy.
|
|
If re-planted, they can take a year to 'settle' before beginning to bloom again. Seeds are collected from the pods after flowering. Seeds are then sown in containers in a cold frame in autumn, or between September to May. Seeds should be kept moist for about 2–4 weeks and also warm (at about 15–20 °C).

For instance it grows in two regions of China with different soil acidities. Tai Shan is granitic while Lao Shan has soluble limestone with mineral water springs. The plant requires full sunlight and cannot grow in shades. The seeds can be grown by winter sow in vented containers set up in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse.
|
|
They are then grown for another year in a greenhouse or cold frame. The new plants then can be planted into the ground in late spring or early summer of the 3rd year. Division is best carried out after flowering during July or August. Large clumps of plants can then be re-planted in new sites.
|
|
Then direct sow outdoors in fall (or Autumn), or winter sow in vented containers, in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. They can be used within in gardens, at waterside locations beside pools or streams. It can also be used within a bog garden and flowers after Iris sibirica, so extending the flowering season of the garden.

This is a well-known and popular garden annual in many areas around the world, available with flowers in numerous colours. It is found listed under a number of synonyms in seed catalogues. Seeds can be sown in a cold frame. Former subspecies C. hestermalense is difficult to germinate, these germinate best when kept hot and dry over the summer.

Donna is killed first as the slugs crawl inside her. Bobby, also being eaten alive jumps from the bedroom window straight onto a cold frame below and is killed by a shard of glass. Brady returns home and tells Kim about the days events at the City Hotel. He explains what Foley told him, adding that he thinks slugs killed Ron Bell.

Water parsnip should be grown in wet mucky soil / sand or in standing water up to an inch and a half deep. It also prefers partial to full sun. The seeds should be sown in late winter to early spring during a cold frame. Sium suave is in flower from July to August while the seeds ripen from September to October.
|
|
In spring, the seedlings, should be 'pricked out' into individual pots, when they are large enough to handle. They then can be grown in the greenhouse or cold frame for their first year. Plant out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer. New plants should be planted in September, It takes at least two years to grow a plant from seed to flowering plant.

This particular species is relatively easy to grow in most garden situations as long as it has plenty of organic material added to the soil. Gentiana asclepiadea likes moist, rich, well- drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The plant can be divided after flowering, however it seldom needs this. Propagate by seed sown as soon as the seed is ripe into a cold frame.

As a hybrid, the tree does not breed true; it will also hybridize with other poplars in the area. Seeds must be sown within days of ripening in the spring or lose viability. It is sown on the surface or lightly covered in trays on a cold frame. Despite the tree's fragrance, the wood is "soft, rather woolly in texture", and lacks odor or taste, and is of relatively low flammability.
|

It grows in any well-drained soil in a warm sheltered site with full sun. It propagates by seed in containers in a cold frame in spring, and semi-ripe cuttings can also be rooted in summer. This species makes a very good wind-shelter hedge in exposed maritime positions, though it is slow growing. Plants can be used as a tall ground cover when planted about apart each way.

1919), slaughter house (1921-1922), processing plant (1922), and the seed house, dining hall, cold frame (1939). By 1917, prisoners were farming of state lands and of leased lands. The products produced by the farms increased to include vegetables, animal feed, poultry, eggs, fruit, milk, and milk products for the prison. By 1930, the state had bought most of the land it farmed and operated six prison farms.

Rainwater or distilled water mixed with of vinegar per gallon will assure that a reliably high acidity is maintained in the growing medium. Give bright dappled shade or morning sun. Sink pots in winter or store in a cold frame for insulation. Given these conditions, C. acaule can thrive indefinitely, but it will always require much more maintenance than other species/hybrids that can be grown in a wider pH range.

Victoria amazonica (giant Amazon waterlilies) in a large greenhouse at the Saint Petersburg Botanical Garden. A greenhouse (also called a glasshouse, or, if with sufficient heating, a hothouse) is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown. These structures range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings. A miniature greenhouse is known as a cold frame.

A plastic cold frame with semi-white plastic, used to keep the cuttings humid and semi-shaded There are ways of improving the growth of stem cutting propagations. Intensifying light allows cuttings to root and sprout faster, though the heat thus generated could cause the propagation material distress. Azalea cuttings can be mildly heated in water to disinfect it from the fungus pathogen Rhizoctonia, and this could potentially be used for other plants.

Then break open to collect seeds and the direct sow outdoors in fall or autumn. The seed should germinate within three months, if they have been pre-chilled for four weeks or placed outdoors over winter. Once germinated they should be brought indoors (or place in a cold frame) to avoid temperature shock and then transplant outside, when the plant has four leaves. The climatic conditions of the garden, controls planting (or transplanting) times.

As Iris acutiloba and the subspecies 'lineolata' are dwarf, they can be grown in a pot, with sharp drainage and careful watering, and kept (frost-free) in greenhouse or cold frame, or alpine house. They should be planted in sandy, well drained soils in full sun. They need protection from spring and autumn rains. If planted in pots, they are left to dry from September and in the spring, given fertilizer during the growing season.

Tinga Nursery is a historic plant nursery and national historic district located near Wrightsboro, New Hanover County, North Carolina. It was established in 1906. Contributing resources include the Bungalow / American Craftsman style main house (1918), wash house and wood shed, employee's quarters, big barn, bulb barn and pump house, old office, new office, potting shed, garage, nursery lanes, field patterns, drainage ditches, cold frame, and pond. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

It is hardy, to European Zone H2, meaning it is hardy from −15, to −20 °C (5 to −4 °F). It is also hardy to USDA Zone 6, and needs a dry spring. It was thought that the species would not like the damp climates of Britain, and needs hot summers, to help create flowers, but Brian Mathew found it quite hardy. It therefore must vary in hardiness, less hardy forms could be grown in a cold frame.

Air temperature for softwood and semi-hardwood cuttings is optimal at around 70° Fahrenheit (21,1° Celsius) but temperatures as low as 55° Fahrenheit (12,7° Celsius) are acceptable. Heating the air above 75° Fahrenheit (23,8° Celsius) stimulates the growth of pathogens. Ventilating (manually or through or through automatic window openers) the greenhouse or cold frame can lower the air temperature. Automated thermostat systems can also be used in greenhouses to keep the heat at a specific temperature.

Cold frame construction is a common home or farm building project, although kits and commercial systems are available. A traditional plan makes use of old glass windows: a wooden frame is built, about one to two feet tall, and the window placed on top. The roof is often sloped towards the winter sun to capture more light, and to improve runoff of water, and hinged for easy access. Clear plastic, rigid or sheeting, can be used in place of glass.

The show was originally called Crockett's Victory Garden for its first host, James Underwood Crockett. On each episode, Crockett demonstrates and cares for a vegetable garden, shows you how to build a cold frame, and why salt marsh hay was useful as a mulch. At the end of each episode, Crockett was in the greenhouse, as he answered viewer questions about gardening, which is sent in by viewers. Following Crockett's death at the age of 63, Bob Thomson hosted the program from 1979 to 1991 and the show was renamed The Victory Garden.

In October of 2017 a contemporary entrance garden, designed by Carbo and Associates, with a living green wall and jumping water fountain opened to the public. In October of 2019 the "Kitchen in the Garden", an outdoor demonstration kitchen located in the middle of the PLANO vegetable garden opened. Landscape Architect Robin Tanner has designed a group of 3 contemporary garden spaces in the old WPA cold frame area of the garden. The first garden called "The Chapel of the Rain" features a large concrete fountain and concrete benches.

In indirect solar dryers, the black surface heats incoming air rather than directly heating the substance to be dried. This heated air is then passed over the substance to be dried and exits upwards often through a chimney, taking moisture released from the substance with it. They can be very simple, just a tilted cold frame with black cloth to an insulated brick building with active ventilation and a back-up heating system. One of the advantages of the indirect system is that it is easier to protect the food, or other substance, from contamination whether wind-blown or by birds, insects, or animals.

In the UK and other Northern European countries a pane of horticultural glass referred to as "Dutch Light" was historically used as a standard unit of construction, having dimensions of 28¾″ x 56″ (approx. 730mm x 1422 mm). This size gives a larger glazed area when compared with using smaller panes such as the 600mm width typically used in modern domestic designs which then require more supporting framework for a given overall greenhouse size. A style of greenhouse having sloped sides (resulting in a wider base than at eaves height) and using these panes uncut is also often referred to as of "Dutch Light design", and a cold frame using a full- or half-pane as being of "Dutch" or "half-Dutch" size.
