This Forest Garden overlap cold frame will help get you started planting spring veg, protecting new shoots from the frost and cold.

Made from robust, pressuretreated timber, with two opening lids to allow air to circulate during the day, it is designed to trap the maximum amount of light to extend the growing season.

Perfect for smaller pots on a patio or covering a vegetable patch, it is also ideal for toughing plants before exposing them to the British weather. I found it for €75 at www. buyshedsdirect.co.uk.
