Bonsai Winter Storage

This is the cold frame I use for storing my bonsai for the winter.  I staple heavy plastic sheeting to the top.  It’s located on the northern side of the house and is about 66″ x 30″ x 30″  (167cm x 76cm x 76cm) and the floor is 24″ (61cm) below ground level.  If it gets really cold, low teens F (-10C), I put a 25 watt bulb inside at night.  I stack the pots on one another and water once a week.

These are the drawings Edna and I made over the last three sessions as well as getting drawings ready for exhibits.  I made sixteen frames for the the Las Cruces Museum Exhibit in February 2009.  We hung ten silver drawings at Johnsons of Madrid in Madrid, New Mexico, which will be up until the end of December.
