Can it survive freazing cold weather?               Some people call them cold frames . Premise is to keep the temps       inside above freezing . Basically a box with a glass top , inside       painted black to gain heat from the sun . Recess into the ground and it       will help keep temps up - assuming the soil isn't frozen .       --       Snag       "You can lead a dummy to facts       but you can't make him think."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
