The Garden Magazine, April, 1920 
every day during all that time, 
but all the supply for a family 
of five came from our garden 
(1 defy any one to use the 
“store kind” after tasting his 
own!). Lima Beans we 
started using on August 2 nd 
and had quantities right up 
to frost. 
The last of the Tomatoes 
were gathered, wrapped in 
paper and placed in the cellar; 
and we had fresh tomatoes for 
Thanksgiving, Christmas and 
New Years! The Parsley and 
herbs were tied in bundles 
and hung up to dry and then 
rolled, the wood removed and 
the leaf powder put away in 
boxes for use. Parsley was 
made available outdoors until 
late in the winter, however, 
by covering the outside rows 
with leaves and boards, Celery 
was left where it grew and 
covered thoroughly with leaves, 
corn stalks and soil. The 
Cabbage was trenched in the 
earth upside down and covered 
with leaves and dirt, the Ruta- 
bagas and Parsnip were stored 
in outside trenches, and the 
Carrots and Beets were put 
into boxes with sand in the 
cellar. 
Although the returns are not 
here accompanied by the 
market prices, since a sufficient 
quantity to supply my family 
abundantly was my standard 
instead of monetary profits, 
it would hardly take an ex- 
pert accountant to discover 
which sheet the balance is on. 
And in addition to the vege- 
tables there are on the south 
side of the space a few Rasp- 
berries which 1 did not in- 
clude in my bookkeeping. 
There are also five young Pear 
trees on the west side and five 
Plums on the north, planted 
just outside the fence. On 
the east side (which faces an 
avenue) are some shrubs that 
discreetly hide our activities 
when these are untimely or 
unbecomingly energetic. 
NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOOKEEPING 
But assuredly included in the assets are the Raspberries which 
form an attractive border planting as well as yield delicious fruit 
FOR WET GARDENS 
One energetic trenching attack will 
rout the enemy permanently and 
redeem wet land
