Show garden ingot in hot weather when hot weather visits us ua tho the fate of most gardens hangs in the balance at this time the garden needs our care more than at any other and we feel less like giving it the necessary care the weather Is hot and the air ls Is still and a hammock in a shady nook looks better to father than any man with the hoe tableau especial ly after a hard bard days work remember that the kind of 0 weather that gives you a very tired fee feeling lini makes the weeds grow rank and bold and dries the garden soil until it Is almost waterproof ter proof probably you feel that you dont need the exercise nearly as much as you did in the spring and probably you are right at the same time it will do you good it II you take it properly and you cannot afford to have the garden go to pieces just when a little work will pull it through in grand shape get up halt half an hour earlier earlic than usual and do your garden work then instead of waiting until the tired even tide or trying to lump it all into a weeks end job A little dally daily work in the cool ot of the early morning will send you to your regular bread and butter job feeling many times better than that little extra sleep would gone is that brown taste gone gona the tha dead alive feeling that the long stifling summer night brings nature is at her lovoll loveliest est while the dew Is on and halt half the fun fun of gardening Is getting close to nature do your gardening before you are tired out and enjoy it to the utmost we have previously told you what to do for the weeds which like the tha poor are always with us unlike the poor however they need no assist assistance but the strongest possible sible resistance si because they axe are altogether too well able to tend fend lor jor themselves cut off their heads beads cut off their feet burn their middles and do it before they have any offspring then start in and do it all over again because they resurrect mighty fast it given the sli ghost opportunity keep tho the soil surface in a dry pulverized veri zed condition and never let it harden pull the weeds out ol of the rows where the hoe cannot reach them because they do more harm here than between the rows it the garden shows lack of moisture it must be furnished and the best way to do this Is to irrigate at night this Is better than sprinkling because the water soaks in deeper and evaporation la Is much less at night than in the daytime A thorough soaking once a week is plenty and the soil should be cultivated the next morning to hold the water this then is the time when a sol soil full of manure Is appreciated it holds more water and does not bake |
