Cold Frame Spinach

I've never, in my 9 years of farming, tried growing anything in the winter months, but this year, I made a small cold frame and planted turnips and spinach.


I've been getting lucky, with warm days and nights just at, or below freezing. After 8 days, I had turnips sprouts, and this morning, on the 14th day, I have spinach sprouts. 




 I don't have a clue what kind of cold tolerance I can expect in a frame this small, but for now, it's doing fine. As in every facet of life, I expect the worst and hope for the best.
