Looking after your plants in winter

There are many ways to look after your plants in Winter, one way is to protect them with "Cold frames"

Cold frames work by warming the soil -  they consist of wooden sides  with planks across the top to enable you to lay sheets of glass.   Paint the inside white as this reflects the sun.  Make one side higher than the other so it slants to capture the sun easier.

Of course you can also grow them inside if you have the room,   or on a window sill etc. but if you have a lot of
plants to care for the Cold Frame is the way to go.
