Book Description

Excerpt from Vegetable and Flower Seeds: Spring, 1945 Spading is the unpleasantly necessary operation that keeps many people from having a garden and gets other gardens started too late to do as well as they should. But, in its characteri'stically help; ful manner, Flowerfield offers a ray of 'hope. You don't have to make a week-long, back-breaking job of getting your garden plot ready but can do it a little at a time as you need it for planting and get the job done without losing your enthusiasm. If you haven't done it earlier, you should plan your garden now. Plan it all at once, even though you're not going to plant it all at once. Use our planting table to determine the row-spacing and re member not to let the tall-growing sorts shade the shorter ones. Figure on planting short rows or parts of rows every week or two, so you'll have radishes and such for a long season instead of having to eat a bushel all in one week and then going without for the rest of the season. That's called succession planting and it makes the work easier and the eating more enjoyable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
