When widening has been comâ€" pleted at the summit of the escarpâ€" ment, a great improvement will bave been made to Mountain St. Much work has already been done, and the widening and straightenâ€" ing of this road is one of the best moves the County has seen fit to make in roadwork for some time. Another extremely important road at present under reconstrucâ€" mile stretch north of the railway tracks. It is the only road leading from the Queen Elizabeth Way inâ€" to Beamsville, and when it is pavâ€" ed it will provide a much better means of entering and leaving the town from the new highway.

But there are plenty of people with big gardens that do |not enjoy as much of this freshâ€" |ness as they should. With them peas, baby carrots and bects, new potatoes and corn, and that is all. Either the rows are finished or else beans and corn which should have been eaten days or weeks before. , With a little foresight and planâ€" ning, however, these unfortunates could just as easily have had realâ€" ly fresh vegetables coming on all through the Summer, ‘They could extend even the green pea season to over a month, could have fresh corn fromh early Summer until alâ€" most Christmas. Two Ways There are two ways to achieve this objective. First, the planting season can be spread over several weeks. Experts advise making at least three sowings of practically all vegetables, the first a week or second at the regular time and the third a week or ten days later.

By sowing all three, one automatically uu-h{ the harvesting season. Corn offers an excellent example. Atwy-n‘ ago there was only one Golden Bartam type.
