Dear JRF,
You stated,”I also use 2 liter bottles of potable water in my cold frame to smooth out temp changes and keep my veggies from freezing if we get a really cold snap”
OK, I’m in the back of the class, raising my hand....please could you elaborate on that? Thanks!
BTW, several months ago you wrote the first two chapters of your cooking book (not “cook” but “cooking!”)for us. Have I missed out on further installments, or have you just been having your hands too full with catz and cold frames to be able to sit and type?
If folks keep bugging me about it, I'll eventually put out another chapter. I find it easy to ignore when no-one mentions it. ;)

I’ve seen a picture of his “cold frame” and wondered why all those bottles of water were lined up in there. The sun warms up the bottles of water, then in the cold night, the bottles let off that heat and keep the cold frame plants from freezing. He may explain that better for you, but it made total sense. It was one of those “why didn’t I think about that” moments.
He has what he calls his “skill sets” and he can do most anything with very little. And, if he has nothing, he can scrounge and still find a way to do most anything.
