What about tranSplanting the
Trimmings? If you really need

may be done, the ones you
transplant will mature. but will
be a week or 10 days later in
doing so than the plants left in
the row. 1t takes less time and
energy, however, to SOW another
row OF seed.
Much of this work of thinning
could have been avoided by more
careful sowing of seed, getting
the seed farther apart originally.

may be even greater.

Gardening
By ISABEL FUCKER
Garden EDITOR. Detroit Times

JUST ABOUT now the seeds
YOU planted of a good many
vegetable varieties are ready for
thinning. Here's where lots of
gardeners make their biggest
miStake-they don't feel they
should pull the tiny plants be-
cause they think plants so pulled
are wasted. So they either thin
too little or waste time and
energy replanting what they
pulled. Neither of these is good
gardening practice.
Plants simply must be thinned
10 allow those left in the row 10
develop properly. On the seed
package you bought is given the
proper spacing for each variety

For Best Results Vegetable Plants Must Be Trimmed

a sort OF crust forms which the
cultivation breaks!
Don't Stir Soil
If it is very dry it will not be
necessary TO cultivate so often.
In any case don't stir the soil
more than an inch deep since
vegetables are shallow rooted
and their roots are widely dis
tributed in the top layer of
soil.
1t is odd how very few gar
deners take advantage of mulch
ing vegetables. Peat or hay or
straw or even grass clippings
may be used and if you cultivate
the soil and fertilize it just be-
fore you mulch. you'll be sur
pissed how long it is before you
have to give the vegetables any
care.
Don't apply any mulch until
the plants are growing well,
then put it on thickly enough so
weeds can't grow. About three
inches of grass clippings, two of
peat, and six of hay or straw
will do the job. And you'll be
pleasantly surprised at the re-
duced amount of labor and the
increased growth of your plants.

Pinch Them

AS for the plants you remove
If you aren't going TO use
them anyway, it is far better to
pinch them off with thumb and
forefnger at ground level or
cut them off with a scissors than
il is 10 pull them. Generally
they are so close to the plants
you are leaving that pulling out
the roots of one diSturbs the
roots of the other-and this is
