down firmly. When 6” high, thin to 
three or four plants in each hill,

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.
