anyone have a cold frame? what can you tell me about them? I would mostly like to have lettuce growing . I dont' know it that would be possible, since we can have harsh winters in WI. At least through the fall and part of winter/early spring?

I love my cold frame. Last year I had lettuce until I tore it out at the end of February. The coldest temp it withstood was -14.
