Feed Vegetables As They Grow 
Quick growth means tender vegetables. Try feeding 
your vegetables as they grow. Apply 5-10—5 Garden Fer- 
tilizer on each side of the row about 4 to 6 inches away from 
the stems. Make sure that no fertilizer comes in contact 
with the foliage. Use about 4 pounds per 100 square feet 
of garden area every three to five weeks. The plant-food 
is then worked into the soil with a rake. The ideal time to 
feed is ust before a rain.

To Grow Good Peas 
To grow good Peas in Greenwich, plant them as early 
as possible. A good tip is to open the row in the early morn- 
ing, and allow tt to be exposed to the rays of the sun for 
ftve or six hours. Then sow the Peas in the late afternoon. 
This procedure increases the soil temperature, thereby 
hastening germination. 2 pounds of seed required for a 
100-foot row. 

Seed Potatoes 
1%-peck Potatoes (71% Ibs.) will plant a 100-foot row. From 
this amount a yield of two bushels can be expected. Cut the 
seed Potatoes into three to six pieces, depending upon size of 
Potato, each with at least one eye. Cut your Potatoes a few 
days before planting so that the cut surfaces can form cal- 
louses.
