The annual vine, can perform annual miracles. They can dress up a barren wire fence, twine a vine around the empty bird- feeder, or add a rustic note to trellis, wood fence or downspout. Annual vines receive far . too little attention. Efeii” though many of these cost- conscious annual plants are easy to start from seed, bloom continuously and are favorites of nectar-roving birds, few of them are 'seen , in the average landscape. Annual vines have delicate tendrils, which attach -'themselves, to the structures on which they, clirnb. The annual vines do not have the tearing habit often associated with their perennial counterparts. They will not damage brick, mortar or Webd. Uses for annual 'vines are varied. Decorate a barren wall in matching colors, shade a patio overhang with a mural of texture and flowers, or set-annual vines against brick or stone fences to soften lines. Vines need not' always climb. The graceful twining of the annual vine is equally beautiful • when, • displayed cascading downward from hanging baskets or window boxes. This year try the new and very well bred annual vine 'Susie' thunbergia for all- season display. 'Susie' thunbergia, a 1980 in- troduction from Pan- American Seed Company, flowers in yellows, bright oranges, maize 'and white, all with a dark eye. The heart-shaped, medium. green foliage takes a decided back seat to the cascades of flowers 'Susie' provides during the warm months ahead, 'Susie' can be trained to a low trellis or fence. The vine Will climb gracefully to a maximum height of six feet. All 'Susie' thunbergia requires is average garden soil, some protection from searing heat and occasional watering for maintenance of moderately moist soil. Still another advantage is the tolerance of this annual vine for very light shade. This year try the new and very well bred annual vine 'Susie' thunbergia for all- season display.

You ,ean grow peanuts on 'most fertile, Welldrainect - soils. HoWever, they grow best on sandy to,sancly-loam soils. When groWn in heavy soils, plants have trouble breaking through the soil, and you may have, trouble harvesting the pods. Although there are four main types of peanuts, only two are recommended for r Ontario, conditions. ' These, are the Spanish types, the small red-skinned nuts preferred for peanut butter; and 'the Valencia types,,.,. which have three to' five peanuts per: pod and are , usually roasted for sale in.:. the shell. Valencias mature a little earlier than Spanish varieties, so they are usually More productive in Ontario. Virginia and lb:Inner, the two.. remaining types, can not be grown in Oritarie becatise they require along growing: season. Seed houses pften sell peanuts in'the shell for. planting. The whole pod can be plan te ectly_inte. the soil,. but• planting the actual seed is usually a more reliable method. When shelling the peanuts for seed, be carefulnot to tear the skih around the nut. Damaged ' skin increases the chances of disease, and reduces the chances of sprOuting. Plant peanuts in early May, • but not before I you: ' usually plant' peas because they are not as cold hardy: Peanets can be planted before bearis, hoWever, as they are more frost toleraat: Allow at least 50 cen- timetres (2.0.1tiches) between_ each row Seeds should be Spaced 10 to 12 centimetres apart (4 to 5 seeds per foot) along the rows. Plant seeds .3 to 5 centimetres(11/2 to 2 inches) deep. By mid-June, the plants produce yellow flowers. These flowers open in• the morning and wither at night; the next day, new flowers appear. Flowers are self- fertilizing, so they do not require bees for fruit set. A few days after the flowers appear, the flower stalk begins to grow downwards. This' talk, called a peg, penetrates the soil surface and pushes down 5 to 8 centimetres (2 to 3 inches) into the soil. The tip of the peg, enlarges and develops into the peanut pod. In 40 to 50 days, the pod will contain mature peanuts. Although peanut plants are fairly drought resistant, they should be watered during late June and July if the weather is dry, Plants continue to produte flowers'and pegs all season. By mid-SepteMber the plant will carry 'new flowers, new pegs, immature and mature peanuts. The longer the growing season, the greater the number of peanuts on each plant. The plants should be allowed to develop and mature until harvest in late' September or after a heavy frost. If the soil is !pose .and' moist, the peanut Olarie tan be pulled.

Plan 4-6 weeks for seedling groWth before putdoor planting. When night tem- peratures have risen to' 50 degrees the started plants ,may be planted in their ultimate location. Tran- splant shock can be avoided if seeds are started' in Jiffy- 7s or Jiffy-9s, the peat pellets which nurture seedlings from sowing to ultimate garden location. 'Susie' can also be pur- chased as a started plant at many garden centers and greenhouses, often in flower., Place the started plants about three inches away from the support on which they will grow. If no trellis is available, twine, string or netting will provide adequate support for vines to climb to their ultimate height.
