GARDEN TIME By ROBERT SCHMIDT i We usually think of our supply of garden plant! about the time that they should be act in the far den Then it U too late to (row our own and we mutt depend on commercial plant (roweri and wed itoref for our aupply. Thi? mean* that wo have little choice of varieties and sometime* the qual ity of the plant* i* poor. It is not diffioult to (row your own plants if you have a hotbed or eoldframe available. A few plant* could eaiily be grown in a shallow box in a kitchen window. It usually takes five'to ten weeks to (row plants from seed ready to set out in the (arden, depending on the kind of crop and on the tempera ture and growin( condition*. Hotbeds and coldframes are structure* used to grow early plant* from leed* for transplant ing in the garden after danger of froat is over, or In some caaes to give aufficient protection to cer tain kind* of plant* to allow them to mature during the late fall or winter seasons. A eoldframe 1* built like a hot bed but hi* no aource of heat ex cept the heat from the sun's rays. A hotbed la supplied with lome artificial source of heat *uch a* electricity, (team, 'hot water, hot air or manure. The frame* may be covered with glau *a*h, cellogla**, (lass cloth, plastic materials or heavy muslin cloth. Glas* sash are the most efficient covers, but they are rather expensive. However, if (iven good care they will last for many years whereas the other materials will have to be replaced every two or three years. The kind of heat to be used will depend on what is most easily available. On farms very often manure is easily obtainable. Fresh horse manure ia the only kind that will give satisfactory results. Where electricity is available, that is the most efficient and dependable source of heat becauie it can be controlled hy mean* of a thermost at *o that the heat control pro blem will not be as great as in other types of beds. An electric hotbed ?ix feet in site will require 00 feet of cable as a heating unit and 2 standard glass sash for cov er. A hotbed of thia site should grow sufficient warm season plants of all kinds for the average home garden. A coldframe without heat but with glass or other type of cover will take care of the pro duction of most cool season crop plants such ss cabbage, lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower. Control of temi&rature, water ing and ventilation are the import ant operations in the care of hot beds and coldframes. Tempera tures should not be allowed to go too high, and watering should not be excessive if you wish good plants. Botlf of these operations are controlled by ventilation as well as by thermostats. Have a good soil thermometer ? don't guess at the temperature. Bulletins on construction and management of hotbeds and cold frames may be obtained by writ ing the N. C. Extension Service.
