A few of the words

COLDFRAME
A cold frame is essentially a bottomless box with a transparent lid — no heating needed. It bridges the gap between the greenhouse and the open garden, toughening up young plants before they face the elements.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
GERMINATE
Most vegetable seeds need soil temperatures of at least 50–65 °F to germinate reliably — one reason a heated greenhouse bench can bring tomatoes and peppers to life weeks ahead of an outdoor sowing.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
HARDENING
"Hardening off" — gradually introducing greenhouse-raised plants to outdoor air over seven to ten days — prevents the shock of cold winds wilting weeks of careful work in a single afternoon.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
PERLITE
Perlite is expanded volcanic glass, heated to around 1,650 °F until it pops like popcorn. Mixed into compost, those tiny white beads keep seedling roots airy and free-draining.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About Garden & Nature

A greenhouse is a world of its own — warm, humid air carrying the green scent of compost and damp earth, even on the coldest February morning. Seedlings push up through the mix in neat rows of trays, while cuttings root quietly on the bench beside them. Here, the gardener steals a march on the season, coaxing life along weeks before the soil outside is ready to receive it.
