242 THE SCHOOL GARDEN BOOK 



Vegetables 



Sow seed of radish, lettuce, and spinach for late crop. 



Rake the soil surface frequently. If "pusley" or other weeds get 



started, hoe and then rake. 

 Pull up all weeds that appear in the rows. Don't let any go to seed. 

 Harvest all crops as fast as they mature. Pull up and burn all parts 



of plants left after harvesting, and thus prevent their serving as 



breeding grounds for insect and fungus pests.
