There Should Be a Succession OF Crops
Through the Growing Season.
The way to have an abundance OF
the best Of good things from the gar.
den is 10 grow succession of craps
through the growing season, says a
contributor to Farm Progress. In the
average farm home garden great eff
fort Is made early Ia spring TO have
all the soil prepared and planted, but
later in the season the crops are neg
lected and large portion Of the gar
den IS allowed to lie idle and grow up
10 weeds. The best gardeners keep all
VI their rich soil working 10 its limit
from early spring til late fall. As
soon as one crop natures and Is re-
moved another is quickly planted to
take its place.
IL Is simply wonderful what com.
mon farm garden OF rich soil will grow
IN one season it all OF the soil is kert
busy all the time Where all the space
Is run to cultivated crops through the
growing season the garden Is an at.
tractiye place, and no part Of it be.
comes hard and baked in dry weather
as where patches are neglected after
the first short crops have been har
vested.
II IS easily possible to grow three or
four good crops In the garden from the
same space IN one season through
planting a succession Of crops From
spaces where early lettuce. radishcs,
peas aud such early quick maturing
crops have grown other quick or stand
ard maturing crops may follow imme-
diately as soon as they have been re-.
moved. Beans, carrots, beets, sweet
corn. cucumbcrs and others, for exam
pie, may follow lettuce. radishes and
peas. Bunch beans may follow bunch
beans IN the. same ground for at least
three crops during the year.
In many cases. as with early bunch
beans, sweet corn may be planted be-
tween the rows to Ice up ana ready for
cultivation as soon as the early crop Of
beans is ont Of the way The soil IS
working all OF the time. and other
planting letwegn rows may be done
with variety of crops Tomatoes are
often started between sweet corn rows
to be ready FOR bloasoming and fruit
ing as soon MS the sweet corn is ready
to eat, when the stalks are removed to
let in light TO the tomato vines.
BY keeping all the garden space stir
red and fresh for seeding it is posi-
BILE to make a succession of paintings
Of several good crops to have them for
use for long season. BY planting
sweet corn, for example, early in the
spring and then q couple Of short rows
about every two weeks till the middle
OF summer IL is possible to have sweet
corn for table use for several months
during the summer ana fall. Sweet
corn may be planted ut intervals from
April TO the last % July ana bunch
beans during the sa1e time. Radishes
may be sown AMI coming ON for use
in n fresh state from March till the
LIST of September IN central ATTITUDES.
II IS impossible here to enumerato
all of the good things that can be had
fresh from the garden during the mid.
die Of the summer AMI through the
fall months by keering all the vacant
spaces seeded AMI through seeding or
setting out plants between rows of
crops that will soon be out OF the way.
The good garden is the one that is FIJI
of spring. midsummer and fall crops
growing and ripenius continually in
abundance
