At the present time my young ones are in school and I am gathering new ideas for garden ing and canning. It is early but come the time, it sneaks in, about and is gone! Years ago. my uncle told me about vegetable spaghetti squash, Mv aunt cooked it in a ro. ster on top of the stove in boiling water. When she’d hear a pop, the squash was done. She removed the seed, quickly heated it, sea soned it and served it with butter. I almost doubted but to day I found a write-up about it. Imagine my recollection of that doubt. I would like to locate some spaghetti squash. Someone suggested that I plant a match or two along with every cucumber, tomato, squash, wa termelon and muskmelon, to save them from cutworms. Also, a few radish seeds or one or two nas turtium seeds to discourage the squash bugs. It seems like a lot of planting, but times have shown me some such preventive may have paid for the effort. ! may get some crushed corn cobs to mulch our strawberry bed. Speaking of mulching. I use moist hay or straw for tomatoes, and with last year an exception, I have always had splendid crops. Something else I’m going 1o try is to pilant two kernels of ;\veet ,-orn With three elitnbir, he.ms The corn will provide a pole for the prolific climbers. My neighbor told me that to make Peter Rabbit unhappy, she sprayed the pen vines with s sir milk. All in all, I’m completely en thusiastic about gardening again, ,.nd wilt welcome ideas. I’ll pass along a catsup recipe CATSUP Take a gallon crock of ripe tomatoes, wash and cook Run through a sieve. Add one large cupful of sugar, one cupful of 'vinegar, two tablespoons of salt and one teaspoonful of red pep I k- Cook until thick, bottle and ■ si al. I had a sample of some mustard pickles recently and the grand mother who prepared them gave me the recipe.
