  1. I have been trying to figure out a origami cold frame for sometime with polycarbonate, but approached it more like a traditional an ORU kayak. …. An ORU compresses the corrugation to make the hinge. Your solution is brilliant! So much easier! I will be trying this approach as I already have the materials. THANK YOU :).

  2. The fun you have with your experiments shows in your calmness, you sound like an angel 😇

    I bet having a neighbour like you would be a blessing for anyone out there.

    Thanks for another awesome video.

  3. Ive been growing greens in cold frames so my chickens have access to something green and fresh to eat.
    Such a delight to get a video from you this morning 😊
    I look for those panels on marketplace regularly because in store they are pricey!

  4. I love this idea! Been looking for something that would work in the cold and yours are perfect and they look beautiful too!

  5. I appreciate that you walk through all the steps and give people what they need to potentially recreate…I’m worried I’d buy materials and then make something too small or too big based on my own guesses. Would you be willing to share the dimensions in your comment description box? I feel bad even asking consider how generous you are with your creative ideas.

    Either way, thanks!

  6. Hahahahaha, love the garden mascot; thank you for giving me the giggles. Your creativity astound me, as always! x

  7. Siloë , My dear scruffy frozen master gardener,
    I wish I could share my lettuce patch pictures with you! Tell me how 🤔
    Happy all weather gardening to all
    M.m

  8. So, how cold can it get before this stops working. Like, I see no snow, so how cold do you get?
