MAKING THE GARDEN PLAN 



Get a piece of drawing paper 8 by 12 inches, a lead pencil, 

 and a foot rule. 



Let every half inch on your rule stand for a foot in your 

 garden. Your garden is 20 feet by 10 feet ; so draw your 

 plan 20 half inches by 10 half inches. 



If your garden is level, run the rows north and south so 

 that the morning and the afternoon sun will shine on oppo- 

 site sides of the rows. If your garden has a decided slope, 

 run the rows across the slope to prevent washing of the soil 

 by rains. 



Everything should be planted in straight rows to make 

 cultivation easy. Draw a straight line across your plan 

 for each row of vegetables, and write the name of the vege- 

 table on or beside the line. Use a double line for crops 

 that will occupy the ground the entire season. 



If the rows run east and west, place the taller plants at 

 the north side of the garden, so that the low-growing vege- 

 tables will not be shaded by them. Give your plants plenty 

 of room, but do not waste space.
