Building a Coldframe

[@lobodo988]

Found you a couple weeks ago, early May 2024 & got addicted to your content! YT was queueing up videos in a random pattern which was fine at first, but now I'm here to watch them ALL in ORDER. I'll know if it's a repeat because I already Liked every video I saw. I figure it'll take me all the way to Independence Day to watch them, but I need your industrious & fun inspiration to get on with my OWN gardening; I live alone & have to self-motivate, which doesn't always happen. (Wisconsin, USA Zone 5) You are providing an important international service, Jessie!

This is THE best cold frame building vid ever especially using recycled materials and your soothing voice and manner of instruction so relaxing to watch - shall be outside tomorrow building one in my backyard in the southern hemisphere 😊

Hi Jessie! 🙋🏻‍♀️I started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago. I’m now going to watch all your videos from the beginning. Enjoyed watching you build your cold frame. When I build things, I do it in my head first. I too save bits and bobs and use them in other projects. Your cold frame is brilliant. I’ve been wanting one and am now inspired to build one. So nice to see you and mum so close and involved with each other. Looking forward to all your vlogs and taking copious notes. You’re a great teacher! Thank you for sharing. 🥰

[@ThomiBMcIntyre]

Very clever design and use of old bits 💚

[@lisalightfoot1344]

Love how your mum always has a cheeky little grin when she has a treat. You are fab team and your parents must be extremely proud of what a intelligent capable and lovely person you are. Keep up. The great work. (making my way through the blogs) 😊👍👌

Great job lovely to see mum and daughter working together, stay safe over there in the UK.

[@Lisa.Gypsy.C]

Great demo & explanation of the purpose of a cold frame . . PS love your hair this colour 🌿🌱

[@wykedmoose7642]

re-purposing wood and hardware, you Rock!!! For not planning, kinda Brilliant. excellent hinge trick

[@Bananaskin101]

That was inspired, making a cold frame from scraps on hand 👍. I find the my hardest problem with my garden and DIY jobs is getting over the inertia 😁

[@kowilkins]

This build looks exactly like something I would have done, and have done similar, for raised beds using pallets and plastic rain barrels! Well done! Love to see resourcefulness!

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

Great bit of recycling! And chocolate eating! :)

[@patkelly656]

I agree with everything you said Lisa. Enjoying catching up with all her vlogs.

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

Loved this .I have decided to go back to the beginning and watch all your videos now that it's getting cold wet and grey here in Worcestershire and I will be hibernating some time soon .huge house no heating so lots pillows quilts and a hot water bottle and your videos to binge on

[@penny6798]

I love your pekins... reminds me of my old girls, one lived to be 9 years old and was still laying occasionally.

[@HoopersGardenMaintenance]

[@JessieatPlot37]

Thank you very much!

[@marionbyrne9765]

Great demo, best ive seen yet. Love your style ✌️❤️

[@Genevieve8002]

Only came across your channel today, I'm really impressed with this Jessie. I really wouldn't know where to start! It's very inspiring how resourceful you are. Where did you learn your woodworking skills?

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Great work!

[@UKSimon4170]

Crackin' job. So good to see ladies doing some engineering. :-)

[@JessieatPlot37]

Hahaha, thanks! 🙂

[@cyber_bod]

I'm amazed my polytunnel survived. I kept looking out the window expecting it to have gone

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Super nice job!!!🌱☀️

[@marknaylor47]

A brilliant idea :) that keeps dead materials from entering landfill sites to support new life :) and am guessing very cheap or zero to construct :)

[@terrybiker2625]

Hi, i just discovered you/your channel tonight,3.30am now and need sleep, but had to comment. Sorry to hear tunnel blew away. Great job on upcycling. Great looking plot,,,,,and you. new sub here. Refreshing to see a woman with an electric srewdriver in her hand,,,,,,,and a box of bits,,,,,,and play it by ear attitude(same here but im a bloke). Refreshing to see and hear you. Im only a 2 yr allotmenteer, and learning fast. Will post on here my polytunnel i made from a free trampoline frame when time allows as it may help someone? Happy growing,and your slug on your plate,,,,,,,,,i can relate to that,,,,,,,,,,,half a slug in half a sprout after i too a bite as a child,,,,,,,,,,,,,i cut EVERYTHING in half now.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Hi Terry, thank you!! Collecting all the bits and bobs you might ever possibly need and then making it up as you go along is definitely the best way on an allotment (or in life in general!)! :D Oooh, I’d be really interested in your trampoline polytunnel! That sounds excellent! Agghh! Half a slug... in a sprout.... *horror* These things cause life-long issues! Haha haha! Lovely to hear from you! J

[@terrybiker2625]

@@JessieatPlot37 Thanks Jessie. Yes, i'm a Mr Fixit type of person. I WILL post on here my trampoline tunnel build, next week. Ive campervan build and folding caravan builds to post too.Time! Where does it go? Thanks for taking the time to reply. Tips for whitefly in a tunnel most welcome. Oh, i have a beercan shingle tiled roof on my shed too, so dont waste those cans, 1.98p for tacks for a shed roof. You will see. Loving your vids. I cut in half everything,even supermarket sprouts. Plot 53 here. Liking you knowledge. Thanks for posting etc.

Great hinge marking tips!

[@terraspath2642]

Sweet! Nice job🙏🏻

[@johndeakin4653]

Love it well done

[@franreichenberg7466]

Lovely but of upcycling...hadn't ever thought of upcycling that green plastic from dead growhouses. We have ipcycledca trampoline into a polytunnel tho and 8ts held up so far for 5 years touch wood........

[@alexandraderry7086]

Thanks for this! I need to build a cold frame. I’m super curious about your jeans with the extra knee and leg padding? Did you make them or is there a place to find them. Thank xx

[@peadarharten5436]

Excellent job, how did it work out for you, what did you get to grow in it?

[@JessieatPlot37]

Its been great place for storing plants before planting them out, its was full all of spring but now its mainly housing cutting that I’ve been taking for a new herb garden!

[@steveames8286]

Nice job , but won’t rain water puddle on the top ?

[@iangeorgehardwick6882]

The top of the Cold Frame will collect more Snow that way.

[@JessieatPlot37]

What snow?!?

[@2005chrissie]

Still think we should all get into a cold frame after school, to break the news that the world is a bag of angry badgers

❤&Mum ❤ 🤔...... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevebonner9108]

Very talented but I would have put the plastic over the lids, it would protect the wood and made it last longer 👍

[@JessieatPlot37]

Yeah, i have to admit i did it for aesthetic reasons, 😂

[@aaron6841]

Try pulsating the drill when you screw in firm pressure and press the trigger on then off a few times this will set the screw. Using plasterboard screws isn't good for outdoor or carpentry projects

[@aaron6841]

Why you didn't put two long screws straight through the frame would of been a lot stronger you can clean up the old green wood with fungalcidal wash from a hardwear store and treat

[@aaron6841]

I think hardening off is a waste of time
