Timely Tips For The Home
Gardener
Raleigh, May 22 ? Just now Is a most
important time In the home vegetable
garden. There are the young tomato
plants, the young peppers and egg
plants to be transplanted and the cab
bage .and cauliflower to be looked ni
ter. All of thes are much benefitted
It they can be transplanted now In a
good well-pulverixed soil that contains
humus or decayed vegetable matter so
that the young roots will not dry out
nor the soil bake about them. F. E.
McCall, extension Garden Specialist
for the State College and States De
partment, of Agriculture, says that
these things should receive attention
at once. He advises also that the
young tomato plants be kept off the
ground and sprayed with the 60 rd earn
Mixture to prevent blight.
Mr. McCall says, "Now Is the time
to make additional sowings of early
peas (Little Marvel variety) and the
stringless green pod snap beans. Try
some Golden Bantam sweet corn for
a change this year. White Icicle rad
ishes, early Half-Long carrots and
leaf lettuce (Black seeded Simpson)
may also be planted now. In place of
the head lettuce try some Cos lettuce
for the hot weather. This can be
planted by making two or three sow
ings at two weeks Intervals and grown
and handled in the same manner as
head lettuce. The entire garden can
be kept producing some food crop
regularly, if the plantings and culti
vation are kept up regularly and
thoroughly." ?
The extension workers have made
the garden an important ? part of the
"Live at Home" program which they
are fostering In North Carolina this
year. It Is found that the Negroes
are already responding splendidly and
it is hoped that, this year, no land
owner will consider that he has a
good farm unless he has a good gard
en.
