Cold frames are a fantastic way to extend the growing season and provide a safe haven for seedlings and delicate plants. However, simply owning one isn't enough. To truly reap the benefits, you need to understand the nuances of cold frame management. This guide covers essential aspects, from optimal placement and temperature regulation to creating a hotbed for an early spring start.

Greenhouses are a fantastic asset for any vegetable gardener, extending the growing season and allowing you to cultivate tender crops. But a greenhouse can be so much more than just a place to grow tomatoes. It can become a powerhouse of permaculture stacking functions, contributing to your garden's overall health and productivity in surprising ways. At VegPlotter, we believe in maximizing every element of your garden, and your greenhouse is no exception.

Permaculture, at its heart, is about working with nature, not against it. And one of the best ways to harness nature's power in your garden is through diversity. Forget the monoculture monotony – we're talking a vibrant mix of veggies, herbs, and flowers all jiving together in your veg patch.
