BATHROOM CLEANER 500 tnL, Backyard Gardener By Patrick Denton Because space is always. the big problem when trying to grow as much f d as pos- sible in the area available, a� let's look at a few ways of us- ing your vegetable plot in the most space -conserving way possible. Qne method of saving space is to grow as many things as possible upward, on supports. Pole beans aren't the only plants that can be induced to grow verti- cally. Cucumbers are an exam- ple. Fruits of slicing varie- ties will grow straighter when trained on a vertical support such as rough twine strung on a simple wooden frame. The vines will need tying in as they grow. Vining squash and melons can also be grown upward as long as some support is given to carry the heavy fruits. Slings of mesh or nylon stockings, or wooden plat- forms are used for this pur- pose. Staking tomatoes saves space and encourages earlier, cleaner fruits as well. In the -same way, stak- ing peas rather than letting them crawl on the ground saves space and lessens the incidence of pest and disease problems. Another space -saving de- vice in the vegetable garden is to look for varieties that. naturally form happy rela- tionships when planted to- gether. For example, corn and pole beans have long played a happy, timehonored duet. One pole bean plant is grown up each corn plant — attempting more than one neither vegetable. This com- panionship represents a for- tunate partnership, as the bean manufactures from the air and collects on its roots the nitrates for which corn has such a hunger. In the same. way, pump- kins and pickling cucumbers can be planted around the edges of either a corn patch or a grouping of Jerusalem artichokes. A variation of this to- getherss theme is to inter- plant the more slow-growing vegetables with quick crops like radish, spinach, green onions ` and leaf lettuce. Vegetables or flowers to be lifted while small for trans- planting are good candidates for interplanting, too. The idea is that the, fast crop matures quickly and is whisked out of the way and into the kitchen before its more ponderous companion is feeling the space. pinch. Ideal sites for these seedy edibles are the spaces be- tween young tomato, squash, pumpkin, cabbage and Brus- sels sprouts plants. These all eventually grow to quite a size, and must be , well spaced. The empty ground ra iii id -them while they are still young might as well be' utilized by interplanting. Watch for these potential planting sites for early crops in the spring garden. Each year you'll find more if you keep watching for them. Last • year I set out trans- plants of the butterhead let- tuce Hilde against the south side of one of my pea rows, just as the peas were up and beginning to grow. At that point the lettuce re- ceived full sun, but as the pea row to its north grew taller it received enough shade to keep the plants in prime eating condition from the end of May until late June. Hilde is a very large, soft, butterhead. If you grow leeks and celery as I do in trenches, the mounds between the tren- . cher make ideal sites for catch crops. Last spring I transplanted various leaf lettuces on these mounds and had beautiful crops through May and into June. They were well out of the way by the time I began pulling. the mounds into the trenches. We transplanted our crisp head lettuces, which mature a bit later, around the sites where the summer squash bushes were to be seeded a couple of weeks later. By mid-June, when the crisp heads began to mature, they were harvested as the zuc- chini began to spread their leafy wings.
