Another point: Uon't make il so big that you can'î look after il properly! A good size vegetable-garden wouild be about 20 feet wide and 50 [cet long. The lîroduce derived [rom thal growing area shouild niake food available for about six in a famnily. You have t0 consider that il takes only a short while to pro- duce radishes, spring onions and leaf lettuce from seed, s0 one should not's0w the whole area with those fast grow- ing seeds. Sonie vegetables will lake as much as 140 days or even longer 10 miatuire [rom lime of seeding. Thus, il is belter 10 start those seeds indoors and grow themin mb little plants suiitable for p!anting oultdoors at the proper lime. How do yoL1 know if the soi! is ready to accept your trans- plants? Whaî I like 10 do is take a handfuil of soi! and squeeze il; when it crumbles and drifts throuigh your fingers, il is ready to accept youir plants, if il holds like a mud bal!, wait a little whilc until il dries ouit and warms up a bit. 1 had anl old gardening friend wbo tbld me that if you could keep youir finger in soi! for lhree minutes wîhouî il feeling cold, then il is the tinîe 10 plant. Starting Seeds Some stili like t0 start their own seeds indoors rather than buying plants frorn the garden centres. Using any type of soi! has presented a problem. Plants wouild "darnp-off" because the soil hadn't been sterilized, When you visit your favorite garden centre, deparînient store or seed shop, ask for Vigoro Sterilized Potting soi! or Seed Start- ing soi!, and you'll know your seed will germinale without the problemn of "darnpîng-off'. I like 10 use old soup tins 10 start nmy tomato plants. Punch holes in the botloni, add a few stones for the drainage, add sterilized potting soi!, putl in lhree lornato seeds; then, as they star! to grow, pick ou!t the two thinnest ones and The way to make sure your assets are distri- buted as you want, is to make a will.

Whcn you place them outdoors, leave thern in the lini, and allow about one inch of can to be above the soil une. What is the reason for the one inch of can to be above the soi! level? Well, it is going to keep the cutworms from cutting down your tender young plants. It acts as a collar around the plants. Use plant food in a solution, and il will take the shock of Irans- planti'ng frorn your plants. W'ater Seedlings will require watering, but don't use a forceful spray. It is always wise bo lightly sprinkle the fiat. Place a few sheets of newspaper over the fiat and add waler to it. The paper absorbs the water, allows il to get 10 the soul, and keeps the seed-fiat dark so that you may expeet faster germination. I like a fairly Warm starting area; around 20-C (60-F). When you gel those plants ouldoors in the soul, water them daily until they really get growing. Once int the ground they will dry out a lot faster. If you can transplant on a shady day, so much the better, but if they have to go in on sunny days, shade them for a day or two until they nîake a good root systemn. Regular care Plants are like people, they require care and attention, and the nmore lhey gel the better they produce. So, water during dry periods, cultivate, keep the soil open, remove weak growth, keep the rows open (but use care when doing so as not to uisturb the root system). Spray with a combined insecticide and fungicide to ]et the.plants grow mbt healthy specimens, and fertilize.
