What’s your guys thoughts on a cold frame? I think it could be worth the investment, just for hardening off, but can they take some snow weight?

Not where I live. Cold frames tend to overheat during the day, then lose too much heat at night. Even if you open them during the day.
I’m not saying they don’t work at all, I’m just saying I’ve not found the benefit for hot weather plants to be noticable. I just move them in and out during hardening, and make sure to not plant them until night time temps are high enough. That’s given me the best yield and least BER.
Interesting to know, I’ll keep doing some more reading on them, appreciate the insight!
