WHAT TO DO MONTH BY MONTH 



two inches apart each way, in a rich loam. 

 These plants wUl be stocky for very early 

 spring planting. Never rush the plants by 

 keeping them in a warm place. After they 

 have been transplanted keep them cool. 



Early Vegetables. The last week of this 

 month sow the seed of early cabbage, cauli- 

 flower, leeks and kohl rabi. Transplant the 

 seedlings and keep them in the cold frames 

 until the last of March and during April. 

 Give the seedlings fresh air and sun. Keep 

 the soil moist but never wet. Water all seed 

 beds and seedlings early in the morning so that 

 the foliage and excess moisture may be dried 

 before night. 



Start a few extra early tomatoes. Keep the 

 plants in a sunny place where the night tem- 

 perature does not drop below forty degrees 

 Fahrenheit. 



Seed. If your garden seed arrives this 

 month keep it in a dry cool place out of the 

 reach of mice. A tin box or can with a few 

 holes punched in the lid is ideal.
