coldframe
Unheated plant shelter
A coldframe is a low, boxlike structure with a transparent top—usually glass or plastic—used to protect plants from cold weather while letting in sunlight.
It functions as an unheated miniature greenhouse, extending the growing season for seedlings or tender plants: Start your tomatoes in a coldframe before transplanting them outdoors.
