Thanks for the info. I've never used a cold frame before and was wondering what kind of temperatures you have when you start putting the plant into the cold frames?
Sorry missed your reply! I put the very cold hardy ones out during a period of time, hopefully 4 - 5 days, when the temps in the day are in the 50's. That hardens them off enough to survive slightly lower temps. I have kale that hopefully will go out in the next 3 weeks, if I can get that window. My April 15th starting is HUGE and I need all the space I can get inside.
Yes, it did help with temp control. That became really obvious when we moved it and no longer had the hay.
