Pull Your Weeds This Fall

T. Greiner, the we'll known gardening expert,
gives the following advice in the current issue
of Farm and Fireside:
During the latter part of the season never
gather even small basket Of tomatoes or a
mess of Limas without having an eye open. for
weeds, and always stop long enough to pull the
weeds from among the tomato or other plants
from which / gather the produce. This should
be done before the seed on the weed-plant is far
enough advanced to have chance to grow; or
if it has, then the weed-plant should be removed
and destroyed so no seeds will get back on our
land"
