Just made a cold frame to move some tomato seedlings too, is my angle too big?

    Tobykeane, if you have one or can afford one and your not at home all day stick a greenhouse window opener on your cold frame. When all I could manage was a cold frame I did just that, being at work all day any plants in there would have fried when the sun hit the glass if I hadn't.

    Just something to think about .

    You can leave the centre and right hand trays under the lights for a while yet. Maybe reduce the amount of light you give them over a 24 hour period to slow growth.
    Just stick the left hand tray in a sunny room somewhere. I wouldn't put them outside until night time temperatures don't drop below 10 degrees.

    Good luck and a great looking cold frame well done.

    Looks great, course dont know where you live, but you cant put toms out in a cold frame for ages yet.  My Hubby made from from scaffold planks, and our old bathroom window which was finally replaced with a double glazed model 2 years ago.  For the moment sow some more hardy stuff you can put in there.
