New Cold Frame Owner - when can we plant?

AmericanGardner

Hello,

We just purchased a used cold frame (~15x30) and want to get our veggies started early this year so the harvest starts earlier :-)

We are in zone 6b, near Nashville. We had planned to start indoor in seed trays, but I guess now we will be able to transplant to 4x4 cells and similar, and then put in the cold frame.

Is there any good information online about estimating the right time to put them in the cold frame? I'm cautious of putting them out too early because it's warm inside, and then having it cool off more than expected when a cold front comes through.

I think we'll be using the 6mil clear plastic - which has an R value of just about 0...

Thank you!
