Every Day in My Garden 



SIXTEENTH DAY 



If the ground is suitable, attend to the Aspar- 

 agus bed. Take off the winter covering, 

 place it on a piece of ground where the Peas 

 or other crops are to be planted later. Take 

 off about ten inches of soil from the top of 

 the Asparagus plants. Put on each one half 

 trowelful nitrate of soda, and replace the soil. 

 Lay on well rotted cow manure. Fork it in. 



SEVENTEENTH DAY 



EIGHTEENTH DAY 



Go over all the beds which have been covered 

 up, taking off part of the manure and straw. 

 Place this on the ground where the vegetables 

 are to be planted. Do this gradually. Re- 

 member that cold nights may follow warm 

 days.
