My Garden

It's nice to know how far apart
garden plants should stand. and this
every gardener ought to know. or
course seed envelopes contain some
directions, and these may be followed
of proper distances.
I found that no gain was made in
planting too closely. Rows too near
each other didn't produce SO well as
those properly spaced, and the same
was true with plants in a row.
It Is only by thinking hat the
correct distance may be allowed in
rows of plants, for usually they come
up too thickiy in one part and too
thinly in another. Some seedlings
pulled out where they grow thickest
may be transplanted to spots where
nothing came up. This cannot be
done with beans, melons, cucumbers
or corn. It can be done with lettuce.
cabbage, tomatoes. in fact. most OF
the so-caIled foliage crops. Root
crops are not easily transplanted.
The proper depth at which TO SOW
varies with soil and seed. Usu-
ally the lighter and smaller the seed
the the surface II Is sown.
Seed Ia sown deeper l heavy soils
than in light sandy ground. Also In
early spring seed is sown nearer the
surface than In warm GUNNER wealth
|er. This Ia because OF the lack OF
moisture in midsummer ground. No
will terminate without moisture.
Most seed will spoil IL planted in
too wet.
