Garden
S Time . . .
By M E. GARDNER
There are always numberless
jobs to be done In the fruit, vege
table and ornamentals gardens at
this season of the year. By and
large, the growing season has been
excellent although a little on the
wet side in most sections of' the
state. ?
Let's consider some of the
things that need attention. After
your black and red raspberries
have finished bearing, remove all
of the old bearing canes' and burn
them. Cut them off close to the
ground. Fertilize with about one
half pound of an 8-8-8 fertilizer
per plant.
The care and handling of dew
berry plants will be different In
the lower Piedmont and Eastern
Carolina than plants grown in the
mountains. In the lower Piedmont
and Eastern Carolina remove all
canes, both old bearing and new.
This procedure will very material
ly reduce the disease problems
and the growing season is long
enough for new canes to be de
veloped for next year's crop. In
the mountains, remove only the
old fruiting cane.s Fertilize as for
raspberries.
Whether you renovate "your
present strawberry planting or
start over with nematode and vi
rus free plants, will depend on
your location and condition of
plants, and if the planting is und
er two years of age, it may pay
you to renovate. Since most grow
ers use the matted row. approxi
mately 14 inches wide, we can use
this system as an example.
Reduce the width of the row to
about 8 inches by plowing off both
sides. This can be done with a
hoe in the home garden. Thin the
remaining plants in the row so
that you will leave a group of
plants about every 14 inches. Keep
the plants cultivated and free of
weeds. After the runners form,
they may be placed in such a
manner as to fill the vacant spaces
in the row.
In the home garden, fertilize
the plants with about two mea
suring cups of nitrate of soda per
100 foot of row. Brush the ferti
lizer from the leaves.
