OLD GARDENER SAYS.... 
The harvesting of vegetables begins with 
planting. Try to time your planting so that 
the main part of the crop will just begin 
ning so you won't have a long row of 
bean plants, for instance, that is past its 
2,

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.
