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.
