l am writing a little experience in
gardening. l find it much better to
plant beans and corn at the same
time in good level soil. Plant the
corn on the south side of the beans
The corn grows much faster than
the beans and will protect them from
the south wind, and also early frost.
With careful watering and cultivat-
ing l had green beans when every
body else had frozen plants.
If you want extra early peas,
onions and similar vegetables, plant
them as late in the fall as you can
pillow the ground. Put them. in place
where the loose stock cannot stamp
them down. AS soon as the snow is
gone in the spring they will begin
to grow, and will be ready for use
much earlier than by planting in the
spring.
