Green Houses

Green houses, cold frames, and cloches are all great season extenders

Green houses or hot houses are structures that can be built out of glass, plastic, or fiberglass. They are designed to give you a warm place to start your garden veggies, to grow winter greens and in some cases, even fruit trees.
Hot houses can be small for the home gardener or large enough for commercial production. You can build them yourself or buy them from a garden supply company.

Cold frame

A cold frame is a box with a large glass window or plastic cover on hinges that you can lift and open as you work in or harvest from your cold frame. These are not hard to make and are also available on line.

A Cloche is a temporary row cover that can be placed over beds in the spring, fall and winter and removed. These can be purchased with a sturdy base making them easy to set up and move from place to place.
