long bearing. Do not cultivate or ick beans

If your child is six or over, and hasn’t had his or her own garden before, be 
sure to start him off this year. For a starter, keep the garden small, give it a good, 
fertile plot, where success will be easy, and “steer’’ the selection of varieties to kinds 
that are easy to grow. Then, as skill develops, let him try a broader range of crops. 
The child with his own garden learns far more than just the technique of gardening. 
He learns the joy of gardening, the value of proper planning, the rewards of patience.
