Seed Trays
Seedlings can be started in recycled egg cartons, take out containers or small pots with drainage, I prefer these because they can be used year after year!

This option is ideal if you want more space for larger seedlings or prefer to transplant as plants grow.

Grow lights help prevent leggy seedlings and provide consistent light when natural sunlight isn’t enough.

Cold Frames
A cold frame is a low box with a clear lid placed over garden beds, usually these can be DIY-ed with greenhouse polycarbonate or recycled windows. I love these because they ready made kits that makes it simple to get started!
Dual-use Raised Bed with Cold Frame (I love these)
These are awesome because they include a raised bed portion AND a removable cold frame, once danger of frost has passed the cold frame can be removed and stored for fall or next spring.
Foldable Aluminum Cold Frame
These are a great option for placing over in-ground beds and can be folded up and removed once danger of frost has passed

Hoop Tunnels
A hoop tunnel (also called a low tunnel) uses flexible hoops covered in plastic or garden fabric over a row of plants. These protect plants from light frost and are great options for longer rows.
New to Hoop Tunnels? or not sure what you can grow in one?
📖 Read
This is a great set of 10 poles to make an 8ft long hoop tunnel, this is the hardware only but is this is a great option because you can use plastic to make a hoop tunnel, or garden netting to protect from insects & birds later in the growing season! (Plastic & Netting linked below)
This includes enough to do 2x 8 ft rows! Works great the hoop tunnel poles mentioned above
This ultra fine but durable netting is great for keeping birds and bugs away from crops and can be draped over the hoop tunnel hardware linked above.
I love this 3 part system because it’s versatile and can take your garden through the seasons, using the plastic sheeting to protect plants from frost, and then netting to protect from pests in the high season.
Optional
If you’re excited to get a jump on planting but your soil hasn’t thawed yet, try adding some Black Landscape Fabric to your garden beds. Combine this with your Hoop Tunnel + Clear Plastic Sheeting to warm your garden beds so the soil is thawed, workable and ready to plant.
