How a House and Lot Became a
Home and Garden
Continued from Page 4 )
row of tomatoes were grown there.
While making the asparagus bed
we moved tho strawberries over the
walk to tho annual garden and kept
it there for two years. It was moved
back again last fall; every young
plant is very healthy, we Ehall let
tho old bed bear next season and then
fork It under, and plant in it late
corn, and perhaps a row of bush
llmas.
Moving tho strawberry bed was a
great Job. You remember our Inheri
tance was "a weedy strawberry
patch." Wo pulled the biggest weeds
In spring and got the first summer
thirty-five- quarts from a spaco larger
than our present three double-rows.
Wo set stakes by the best plants and
after bearing (or fruiting) was over,
pulled up the undesirable ones. From
Making the Asparagus Bed
tho selected ones we got moro than
two-hundred "pot grown" plants, and
started tho bed on the cast side, be
tween tho enrly corn, planting them
fifteen Inches apart in tho row, and
tho rows two feet apart. Tho plants
wo arranged In threo rows, as de
scribed, to glvo better root room. As
soon as tho corn was mature, tho
strawberries wcro cultivated vigor
ously every week. That first fall all
runners woro cut off. Wood ashes
and chicken manure wero used for
fertilizing. We wero fortunate in
having a friend who has chickens and
no garden, so onco in a whllo our
man brings up all his chicken ma
nure to fertilize our strawberries.
r"UR first crop from that new bed
was about fifty full quarts, raised
in about ono-thlrd less spaco than tho
old bed occupied. After bearing, they
wero fertilized, carefully worked, and
admitted tho setting of new plants
eight inches apart. Every week we
worked them, and pulled out every
plant that seemed below par or old,
replacing it with a vigorous one.
After freezing wo covered them
with leaves, putting corn-stalks over
all to keep the wind from blowing
them away. In the early spring the
leaves wero removed by hand and put
on our compost heap. They wero
given a good working, and tho soil
between tho rows was forked under,
aftor spreading over them our win
ter's wood ashes, and mulched them
well. Mulching is most important.
I gave away at least twenty quarts
of strawberries to friends, canned
about ten quarts, and wo ato all wo
could with cream, and In short-cake.
This year wo had ninety-four quarts,
although tho rains did not favor us
so much as last year.
Thero was ono row in the year-old
bed not so flno as the other two, and
after taking all tho plants wo wanted,
wo had It forked under. Then wo
planted bush lima beans, string
beans, and spinach. From that plant
ing, twelve cents worth of lima-bean
seeds, and ten cents worth of beans,
wo had a wonderful crop. Our New
Zealand spinach mado a row about
nino feet long. Our limas yielded
abundantly, giving us five big meals,
about five quarts hulled, and wo ato
tho last of the beans on October
twenty-fifth; perfectly delicious and
tender, and about ten quarts in all.
In making this last berry patch,
wo did not raise pot plants. Instead
wo prepared tho ground and marked
our rows. Then wo took a home
made transplanting box and trowel,
and dug up tho best young plants
carefully whllo tho hired man planted
them in the new location. In tho per
manent garden where tho now straw
berry bed now is, wo had, last year,
threo long double rows of celery,
threo varieties, all self-blanch. Last
spring, March twentieth, we sowed
dwarf peas where tho celery had
been, in a trench six inches deep and
eight wide, threo rows each, being a
doublo row. rnese wo
hoed carefully at least
six times, filling tho
soil between the peas
and finally pushing
tho two closo rows
closo together. Wo
had ten pecks from
theso threo doublo
rows. Tho Little Mar
vel, was tho best, with
Blue Bantam second,
and British Wonder
third, but not in any
shamefaced way! Be
tween tho pea rows
wo planted for a mid
summer crop earliest
Catawba corn, and now
our strawberry plants
are flourishing there,
after having had moro
than threo bushels of
chicken manure worked around them.
Wo found that two rows of to
matoes gave us all wo needed with
our family of six in tho summer, and
four In tho winter, to cat tho canned
fruit Usually wo plant threo vari
eties, to get a difference In ripening
time, and flavor, two-and-one-half feet
apart, giving us forty plants.
Wo tio our tomatoes with soft
strings to tho straight trellis. Our
trellis Is made with two upright and
threo cross bars in small sections,
so that it is easily handled. We And
this moro satisfactory than any other
we havo seen. Last year we had all
tho tomatoes wo could eat, canned
fifty quarts, and gavo many away, be
sides making gallons of green tomato
pickle.
When harvesting our green toma'
toes wo carefully sort them out. Tho
perfect largo ones aro wrapped sepa
rately irt newspaper and packed
lightly In big peach baskets; or bet
tcr still if thero is room In tho cold
room", put on a shelf. In this way we
have tomatoes for salad through tho
fall, and last year we had some for
Christmas dinner.
In our annual garden wo practice
rotation of crops. Tho Btrawberry
bed being there has been a nuisance
part of the time, for it monopolized
tho place all tho year! Wo found It
not very easy to get an early crop
from tho tomato site. Wo did get
peas this year between tho tomatoes
and tho last flower border.
YB always plant ono row of Swiss
w chard, Lucullus. It likes a moist
location. Year beforo last it was
next to tho dahlias and cosmos, whero
our threo dozen flno cauliflowers
wero last year. Now It Is at tho back
of the perennial garden whero our
compost heap was previously. We
used the back lot last year for a
dump heap, and so got in a row of
chard, two of beets, and one of young
onions, for fall. By keeping tno out
side leaves cut before they become
tough, wo havo had tender greens
until freezing weather. We cover
deep with leaves nnd tho first thing
from our garden In spring Is a mess
of green chard. Wo havo canned it,
