next fall when the story of "My Garden Work" is written. Do not fail to 

 make a record of everything done, for it will make it easier for you to 

 write a good story. The plan shown here is for a garden a rod square, 

 the smallest sized garden allowed. It is hoped that each garden will be 

 larger and more vegetables grown. If you will notice the plan carefully 

 you will see it calls for the growing of seven kinds of vegetables.

Just before the seeds are to be planted the garden should receive 

 another raking. This time all lumps, stones and rubbish should be raked 

 off and the surface left perfectly even. This takes some time and skill. 

 At the corners and the ends of rows drive stakes into the ground even 

 with the surface. Two nicely pointed stakes and some strong twine are 

 needed to use in marking the rows. When through work wind the twine 

 on the stakes and put away in a safe place. This is a good motto: A 

 place for everything and everything in its place. Therefore, keep the hoe, 

 rake, spade and line in their places when you are not using them. Keep 

 all tools clean and sharp. A good adage is: It is just as easy to learn
