The coldframes are in (1) with lettuce and spinach and some more carrots Planted on 9/2 which I think will be fine (carrots - we will see?). The other I put over a existing bed of carrots that I planted on 8/1...I think I'll add some more lettuce in there I have some extra space...I About the cost I bought roughly (12) 8' x 6" X 2" boards and (2) 4' x 8' a bunch of hinges, L brackets, deck screws and a (2) plastic drop cloths I think I may have $80 in there all toll. Next spring I'll spring for hard plastic covers (Made for roofing) probably another $60. Ill be on the lookout for old storm windows and wood from now on. It is absolutely too expensive but i justify it by thinking it gets me out of the house in the fall for more than just raking leaves.

Your cold frames may be a bit spendy but there are more expensive hobbies out there and they don't produce nutritious great tasting food. Enjoy your new cold frames.

Shoot, I use a cold frame to hold my tomatoes and peppers until transplant time after germination. Mine wasn't cheap, but it's collapsible and that's a big plus. I've also gone to collapsible tomato cages.
