I did not know if I should put this in the recycled, save money or do it your self section but I was ao excited to share...

So I was over visiting the Garden forum and have been working on seed starting in the toilet paper rolls. Well I had no idea what I was going to do with the seedlings between the house and planting them. I was thinking a cold frame would do. I was out doing yard work today and this is what I came up with. All of this stuff was actually laying around my yard. I had my DH put in a couple screws for me and he thought I should add the pvc.

I just need to wrap it with plastic. What do you think?

looks great to me yeah the seed starting gets my house full of plants right before the last frost. last year I had shelves and plants anywhere there was sunlight (thank goodness my house gets a lot of light) and all of my grow light tiers were packed to the hilt. I have wanted to build a cold frame for some time now, but it keeps getting pushed further down my list of "to do's" Yours looks really good though!

Will you rotate your flats so that each will get some time on the top of the shelves? :)
