the root crops like carrots radishes, and the list goes on. I know when I start planting my garden in the spring after the danger of frost is over, I find it hard to find some of my favorite plants at the local feed mill or Walmart.That is where the hot bed comes in handy, I remember when I was a small boy. My dad and I was at my grandmas house, she was talking to my dad about a her hot bed. Thinking to my self hows that possible sense she didn't have any electricity or means to heat up her bed,unless she used the old irons she had siting on the wood stove, and every time I stayed the night I would freeze half to death, when the wood stove in the livening room would die out. Wow that takes me back to a time, when things were simple and the biggest worry I had was finding enough nails to repair the old bob sled my dad had made me and my three brothers. Time dose fly by doesn't it. .As I listened to them talk I realized they were talking about something to do with the garden.I remember her telling My dad she needed some horse manure, and straw for her hot bed, On the way home I asked my dad why did she need horse manure, and he explained to me that the horse manure generated heat, and she put it in the bottom of her hot bed which my grand father had made for her before his passing a few years earlier.
