Ram home again after
winning several shows
FAIRFIELD - Spring
Bottom Farms, near here,
recently completed another
successful show season. “We
are proud to have brought to
Adams County an out
standing Shropshire Ram,
‘Mr. Everything’,
Menhennet 563. 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. '
