What are cold frames?
They are wooden boxes with glass or polycarbonate glazing that heat the garden soil and air inside them. They are useful for starting plants outside earlier. Actually, I think that French gardeners may have invented them, so you probably have seen them, but use another name.
I’ll ask Catorze. I’m sure if there’s French gardening to be ruined, he’ll have been there and done that.
