Wise Gardeners
Begin in Fall
Autumn begins the New
Year for wise gardeners!
It’s the time to plow or
spade the soil and turn under
crop debris in preparation for
next season, and some gard-
ening specialists say, ‘“You
don’t know how good the
earth feels until you've plant-
ed in fertile soil, mellowed
by exposure to winter’s free-
zing.”
A home study course from
Penn State says that autumn
plowing is especially good if
there is a heavy sod or thick
coat of strawy manure to
turn under. Coarse organic
material partially decompos-
es in late fall and early win-
ter—then it’s available for
plants by summer.
When ground limestone is
mixed with the soil in au-
tumn, it reaches its full neu-
tralizing effect by planting
time. Plowed ground that's
left rough over winter dries
early in spring. Frost hardy
crops like peas, onions and
radishes grow readily.
Flemish Giant Rabitts some-
times weigh as much as 22
pounds!
Some Mexican Chihuahua
dogs weigh only 16 ounces!!
