Can I use my conservatory as a cold frame?

Question

I live in the south of UK without a greenhouse! However I do have a large unheated conservatory which is unused during the winter. Would it be suitable to use as a cold frame for germinating seeds etc to plant out in the spring?

It looks perfect, as long as the temperatures don't fall below what you are planting can handle. This could be a good way to get a head start on the growing season. This article will help you to use a cold frame: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/greenhouses/cold-frame-hardening-in-spring.htm
