Hang heads in dry, airy spot to finish ripening. Do not store sunflowers one on top of another or they may rot. Spinach makes a better fall crop than spring crop because it goes to seed quickly when the weather warms up in spring. Plant spinach, lettuce, kale, turnip and radish in early September. Soak seed furrows thoroughly before sowing seed and mulch lightly.
Water rows daily to promote germination and growth of young seedlings.
Green tomatoes can be stored for four to six weeks, gradually ripening to a nice, red color. Best storage conditions are 60 degrees F. with a moderately moist atmosphere. Harvest tomatoes in firm, green condition before frost. Remove stems to prevent punctuating other fruits. Wash dirt off instead of wiping off which can cause scratches, leaving fruit susceptible to decay.
