Garden notes .aeaci rens KY A, 13. l3uckley It may be an ;astonishing fact to Some but most children have the same love of gardening as. their parents, If they are allowed to purchase seeds or are given some to plant in the spring it is just as much fun to them as playing .marbles, hopscotch or just splashing through puddles. However, just because your ten year old brags about having planted sunflower seeds or zinnias arid his younger sister begs for more seeds to plant, don't expect that within a few years they will be taking over your garden chores. Gardening from a child's point of view is like everything else they undertake, so their interest may be very short lived. The truth of the matter is many don't care that much about gardening itself, but only want to copy what Mommy and Daddy are doing. Regular sustained chores are too much to expect of youngsters even at 10. But assign them a task of piling neatly last year's stakes or carting debris away in a small wheelbarrow, and they will do it well. Get them to rake up leaves from under shrubs and the hedge while you are working elsewhere and they will energetically set to. To assist you with your chores children will need their own set of tools and these should be sturdily built and not tiny toys which break easily. All are available in the right size and weight for use by the small fry. The best way to encourage young gardeners is to give them a plot of their own. Help them to work the soil and fertilize it, but let them plant their own seeds and when they get a little older, their own plants. The seeds you have chosen for children should be selected carefully for ease of handling and to give quick results. Select large seeded species that will quickly produce big, easily recognized plants. Sunflowers, zinnias, beans, pumpkins and radishes are sure to please. Corn was always a favorite in our garden even though we really had no room for it. anion this year Matte the plot small 3 feet by 3 feet and extend it gradually as the child gets older, Select a good sunny location with good gardening soil. Teach the child to make rows whether they are straight or not. I find that even a six or seven year old will use string for straight rows and make a drill with his hoe. Most seeds will fall in the trench and the beans or radishes will quickly appear and the child's garden will flourish. As the seedlings crow, the child will be happy to water then. When they are well developed use a mulch of peat moss or decayed leaves to keep weeds from appearing too thickly. Teach him to thin out the seedling's, and also how to transplant them, as they will probably be planted too thickly. Do it at a time when planting is easy so that he will be successful with some of them. Here again shading the seedlings and watering will probably fascinate him. The smaller child will thoroughly enjoy a flower pot garden. Select a few four or five inch pots and allow the child to fill them with soil and plant the seeds. WEDDING PREPARATIONS?

CLINTON 402.9505 Small children will spend hours filling the pots again and again, replanting and unnlanting the seeds and thoroughly enjoying themselves. If despite this, some of the seeds grow (and if they are beans they wilt) the child will have an early insight into gardening. This practice will instill an interest in gardening, apd although it may not make them expert gardeners it will be a real help when they become teenagers. Immediate pay off will, however, be realized as the youngsters begin to show more respect for your flowers and shrubs • Clinton News -Record, Thursday, May 2? 1969 11 :orn growers: WE HAVE WELL KGRNO11 add Kornoil to Atrazine sprays for better weed control in corn.
