I
Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake of planting vegetables too
close together. I'lunts having large
foliage such as tomatoes, peas and
beuns, should be given plenty of room.
In order that the sunshine may reach
all parts.
Plenty of potash and phosphoric
ncid should be used with all vegetables
and particularly with tomatoes, pep-
pers, egg plants and root-crops.
If the ground was well fertilized be-
fore planting the seeds there will be
but little trouble through plants dwin>
dling in the hot weather providing the
soil is kept light.
Much of the trouble laid to drought
comes through plant starvation.
Seme plants are such rank growers
that they exhaust the fertility of the
soil very quickly unless some reserve
food is provided.
If you have not made due provision
for this in the planting it may still
be easily done by digging a lar^e hole
between th$ rows or hills and filling
this with fertilizer, mtatlng it as much
na possible with the soil;
Kalns will wash a part of the fertil-
ity down among the roots and the
plants will thus And a source of con-
stant renewal.
This will keep them vigorous and
