planting. Try to time your planting so that

to mature about the time they are to be 
eaten or stored, This means carefull plan- 
ning so you won't have a long row of 
bean plants, for instance, that is past its

eat. A short row planted every few days 
will mean fewer plants to weed and culti- 
vate and better eating on the table,

OLD GARDENER SAYS.... 
The harvesting of vegetables begins with 
For winter storage, time your plantings so 
the crop will be at its best, fully mature but 
not tough. For canning or freezing, the 
crop ought to be just a little younger than 
this. 
And speaking of storing vegetables, try to 
handle them like eggs in harvesting. Don’t 
throw squash, potatoes, beets and carrots 
into the baskets or other containers. Lay 
them in instead. It will pay in better keep- 
ing and better flavor.
