Why is it that a tub of water placed in a farmers canning cellar helps prevent canned food from freezing in cold winters?
Ice is a good insulator - it does not conduct thermal energy well. A layer of ice can (rather counter intuitively) keep a cellar warmer than the cold winter outside, if the winter weather is well below the freezing point. This is the same principle that keeps rivers and lakes from freezing all the way through in winter weather.

Why do seeds grow quickly after being frozen?
Not all seeds do, but many seeds from regions with cold winters require freezing in order to break their dormancy. This helps the seeds to germinate at the appropriate time. If seeds that fell in fall germinated immediately, they would face freezing winter temperatures which could damage or kill them. Seeds that germinate after freezing are more likely to grow in spring with lots of warm weather ahead of them.
