Today I built a cold frame using an old window, bricks, wood, and straw. The ground was frozen, but manageable. I can plant my seedlings in the frame in 2-3 weeks (let’s hope the soil warms!).

I also sowed Red Milkweed in peat pots, watered, covered, and placed them in the fridge. I will remove them in 10 days and place them under the grow lights. 

The purple basil sprouted a few days ago.
