Dad's Pumpkin Plants...and stuff...

As many of you know my dad is into growing giant pumpkins. This year he decided to "upgrade" his cold frames...I must say I am impressed. He built the cold frames himself, with a door on the side to easily tend to the plant and a "window" on the top (a sunroof if you will). Now this window is on some sort of mechanical hinge that will open the window if the temperature inside the cold frame reaches a certain temperature and close it if it falls below a certain temperature.


These pictures were taken May 19, 2008
