Advice from a cold-frame enthusiast! Autumn typically signals the end of home grown vegetables from the garden, but with a little ingenuity you can harvest garden fresh produce well into the winter months.

An extended look at cold-frames. Most growers experience a down period during harsh months before spring and after fall. Fortunately, most name brands make a cold frame growing house designed to extend your grow cycle into winter weather. For those who are new to the world of growing, it's best to get small, but expandable greenhouse kits. A cold frame traps the heat from daily sunlight and resists cooling at night. They can be an excellent, yet inexpensive way to start your season early or extend it into late Fall.

Some winter gardening advice from Bill Hirst. I look forward each day durring the winter.

For me I have grown to appreciate each day and look forward to interests in landscapes that are there knowing that many dazzeling displays can be found by careful observation. The days are short and the nights are long. Yet growing plants and enjoying plants are year round activities that bring many quality hours of enjoyment.
