He will stand at stud in Adams County and will surely upgrade the county’s fast growing sheep industry,” says owner Frank Darcey, Jr. Gardens should be *winterized ’ FLEMINGTON, N.J. - Gardeners can prolong the productivity of their vegetable crops if certain precautions are taken before cold weather comes. Five to six inches of mulch such as straw, hay, leaves, grass clippings or antlung organic, can save swiss chard and other salad crops from very cold weather, say ex perts. Turnips and carrots will last until December if mulched. Parsnips, scallions and leeks will survive the entire Winter without protection and develop a sweeter taste than those harvested in warmer weather. This is also the time of year when ‘cole’ crops'such as broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts develop high quality. After the center heads of broccoli are harvested, continue to water the plants and enjoy the tender side shoots that are produced. Cauliflower will be more tender and keep a mce white color if the long ‘rabbit ear’ leaves are pulled over the head and tied with a piece of string. Brussels sprouts will last through freezing weather. Closely related vegetable such as kale and collards will continue to provide greens for the table right up to cold weather. One shouldn’t forsake the green tomatoes that are still in the garden. One can salvage them by cutting the plants off at ground level and hanging them upside down, tomatoes and all, in a cool place such as the garage, breezeway, or cellar. The fruit will ripen slowly. They may not have the quality of sun-npened tomatoes but chances are they’ll be superior to the ones bought. ' COW MATS AVAILABLE Check Our Low Prices!
