| Do you think I could start cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower in my cold frame, yet? |

| Certainly. They're cold-hardy veggies. A cold frame doesn't let in rain or snow, so keep an eye on the flat moisture and you could also keep the lid ajar so the air inside doesn't overheat. |

| why not winter sow them? I winter sown quite a few of the winter veggies couple weeks ago, they started sprouting after 10 to 15 days. I got better result with winter veggies than flower seeds in winter sowing. |

| Thank you, Trudi & Sara for answering. Wouldn't planting in the cold frame act the same as winter sowing? I did start some onion seeds today. nothing else. I planted them in flats that I had saved from last year. I put newspaper on the bottom of the flat to hold the dirt. Suppose to snow again.. I am so wary about winter sowing but I have talked to others on here that have. And had success. |
