BACK YARD FARMERS
SHOULD GET BUSY
After May 20 Safe to Plant Any of
Heat Loving Garden
Crops.

After May 20 It is safe in Rich
mond and in this region TO plant al
most any of the heat-loviDg garden
crops, such as eggplant, peppers,
Lima beans, sweet potatoes, cucum-
bers, melons, etc, and IT is not TOO
late to plant most of the early crops.
There is little time to make a plant
ing of peas with good chances of
success, hut such crops as parsnips,
carrots satisfy. radishes, lettuce,
spinach and other crops that do not
stand heat so we'll should he planted
with the thought that they may not
do their best, especially If extreme
ly hot weather comes before they be-
come well established.
This being an especially backward
spring, il may be best in this section
to defer the planting of eggplant and
peppers until the ground warns up
little more. Planting may be done on
light, warm soils at least a week
sooner than on heavy soils, hence the
gardener must be guided in making
paintings by the location and charac-
ter of his soil
There is, of course, some variation
in this advice The planting of the
more tender crops may be made in
the southern part Of this region a
week or so before similar paintings
should be gotten under way in the
northern portion. The advice is
based on the average date of the lat
est killing frost in this zone. and the
fact that this Ia an extremely late
spring makes II altogether proba BILE
that the planting OF the more tender
crops Will have TO be deferred until
conditions are Just right Beginners
In gardening should consult others
more experienced.
