I am currently building cedar cold-frames using storm-windows from the Re-store in Anchorage. Cold-frames are great for hardening-off plants outside or can also be placed over cold-sensitive crops as a season extender or to expand the growing options.
The dimensions vary based on the windows but the ones I have in stock are approximately 2ftx4ft. E-mail me at blackdoggardens@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing one or if you would like to commission a custom size. Prices will vary but will be between $50 and $75.
Here is a good website for information on cold-frames and ideas about extending the growing season with a cold-frame. It lists the Top 12 Winter Cold Frame Crops" as Arugula, Broccoli, Beets, Cabbage, Chard, Chinese cabbage, Green onion, Kale, Lettuce, Mustard, Radish, Spinach
