Fresh From Your Own Garden 
There is all the difference in the world between vegetables fresh from your own garden and fresh from other sources. 
Fresh in some cases may mean a week and even from the farmer markets means at least a day old. 
The Soil and 
The soil should be fairly rich or make it so with pulver¬ 
ized Sheep Manure and remember thorough preparation is 
essential. Get the ground in proper shape before you at¬ 
tempt to sow the seed. 
Thin out plants, don't crowd. It is preferable to have 
plants spaced well. A thin stand is better than to have the 
Preparation 
plants too thick. Cultivate frequently. It not only conserves 
the moisture but keeps down weeds and grass. 
Water crops well during extreme dry spells. Soak ground 
thoroughly, continue to plant as you make room in your 
garden and you can have fresh vegetables all during the 
growing season.
