The Hot Bed
Growing now
Harvested
Area
This bed is on the south side of our house, against our concrete foundation for radiant heat. In 2013, we had good luck with tomatoes and peppers there.
In 2014, I'm going to start putting my first rounds of cool weather crops there with hopes for a few successions before the "hot" plants come out to play in June.
