THE OLD GARDENER 
ON BEANS and CARROTS 
You'll never know how good snap 
beans can be, until you've tasted some 
freshly picked, fibreless young pods; 
they’re so tender, brittle and tasty. 
Dwarf varieties mature a crop quicker 
and with less fuss than pole varieties; 
but, the tall ones will produce a greaf 
deal more beans over a longer period, 
especially when the vines are picked 
clean. Sow varieties that can be frozen, 
so the surplus won't be wasted. 
If you sow a short row every two or 
three weeks, you'll have beans to har- 
vest right up to frost. 
Lima beans are delicious when picked 
just as the pods start turning yellow— 
they’re tasty as dry beans too. 
You'll find the small-seeded bush Limas 
do better in the hot interior valleys. 
The sweet, new fine-grained coreless 
carrots don’t do as well in heavy soils 
as short, stubby, tapered varieties, 
These new ones are so tender, brittle 
and thin-skinned, they'll corkscrew or 
split into Siamese twins if you don’t , 
add plenty of moisture-holding organic 
or mineral soil aids to heavy soil be- 
fore planting. The misshapen ones just 
can’t be pulled intact without first thor- 
oughly soaking heavy soils. 
While the soil is the best place to 
store carrots, especially over-winter, it’s 
better to avoid accumulating a surplus 
during warm weather, By spacing sow- 
ings there’ll be a crop of tastier, tender — 
young ones coming along, Freeze any 
surplus that develops,
