Cold Frame is Up, Starting Seeds Soon

My cold frame was put up over a small portion of one of the garden beds last Sunday, February 20th.  I plan on starting some lettuce seeds in 2 more days, depending on the weather.  If the weather forecast continues to look very cold into the latter part of next week, I might hold off starting the lettuce seeds for 5 or 6 days.  I will not start seeds of broccoli, cabbage, and brussels sprouts for another week or so.    The weather here has been colder than normal for about the last 3 weeks.  The snow is FINALLY starting to melt and I can see some patches of grass for the first time in nearly a month.  When the sun is out, you can really feel how warm it is, even for late February.  I always consider March 1st the start of spring, even though it technically starts March 20th.  Spring for me will start in 3 days!!!
