Cold frames are generally for folks who want to extend the season or get a head start in the spring. There are plenty of crops you can plant just in regular old rows in the ground. ;) Also you can check out books on "lasagna gardening" and "square foot gardening" from the library for some ideas and making things easier. With lasagna gardening, in particular, you don't have to spend big money on building beds out of wood or anything. Good luck!

My kids are pushing me to be more "green," though, so I'm looking for more eco-friendly ways to take care of my yard, grow plants and vegetables, and so forth. So far, most of the articles I've found have either been vague or poorly written, which makes me not trust the content. I found this article earlier (http://www.homeimprovementadvisors.com/10-ways-to-make-your-landscape-greener-this-spring/) and was wondering if other people have thoughts. Also, are there some other good articles on this site or on other trustworthy sites you know of? Thanks!
