COLLEGE PARK. Md. At
this time of year, it may be tough
to think about gardening. How
ever, specialists at the Home and
Garden Information Center of the
Cooperative Extension Service-
University of Maryland at College
Park are already thinking ahead
and providing information on per
tinent topics of the season.
For instance, many gardeners
like to get a jump on spring by
growing their own vegetable and
flower transplants inside. “This is
a good way to obtain unusual
varieties found only in catalogs,”
said Ray Bosmans, regional horti
culture specialist
Bosmans recommends starting
with a suitable growing medium
and plenty of light. Growing mix
es made of peat moss, perlite, or
vermiculite are ideal. To over

To Start Transplants
come low-light problems, trans
plants can be grown under fluores
cent lights to supplement or re
place natural light. In order to use
artificial light effectively, the light
fixture should be about two to
three inches above the seedlings
and left on for 14 to 16 hours per
day.
Seeds should be sowed inside
about 5 to 6 weeks before the last
frost date. “In central Maryland,
the last frost date is May 10, and in
wanner areas such as Baltimore
City and southern Maryland, the
date is April 25,” -said Bosmans.
“In Allegany and Garrett counties,
frost can occur as late as May 25.”
He recommends conditioning

location for a week before trans-

Massey Ferguson’s newest platform tractor
the MF' 3120 T delivers 110 horse

Economy PTO, Dynashift transmission, and
optional true 4WD, you’ve got one powerful
performer So much useable power that the
