Show Succession Planting Plant-ing Best for Family Food Stipply To get the greatest value out .of a garden use succession planting, says Professor J. C. Hogenson, extension agronomist of the Utah State Agricultural Agri-cultural college. Do not plant all of the seed at one time of such vegetables vege-tables as radishes, peas, beans, cress, beets, carrots, lettuce., spinach and -sweet corn. Plant just enough of each at one time so that the family can use all while each is at its best. In about two weeks plant some more and so on until midsummer. In this way much more produce is grown and all of it used while it is at the proper stage of growth. Late plantings for winter storage should be made in early fall, Two plantings should be made of tomatoes, cabbage and broccoli and one, when the weather warms up, of egg plant, peppers, cucumbers and melons. |
