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.
