The Huron Expositor, 1961-06-15, Page 6#-4'Z.4 HURON EXPOSITOR, SEAFORTH, ONT., JUNE 15, 1961 Pow You Can Coast There's no better exercise than working in the garden and getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Actually, however, by the time summer arrives there is little ne- cessity for any hard work if one plans wisely. With the warm wea- ther the lawn should not be cut `nearly as often nor as short and one can go easy on cultivating vegetable and flower gardens, too, East Wawanosh Council Holds June Meeting East Wawanosh council met for their June meeting with Reeve Hanna presiding.

WANTED LIVE FOWL Picked Up At the Farm Top Prices LOCKER SPACE AVAILABLE Phone 751 J 12 - SEAFORTH or 393 J 15 - BRUSSELS RONALD BENNETT WALTON provided they were free of weeds and the soil well stirred by the middle of June. One good cultiva- tion in July, with possibly a little extra for the late sown vegetables should be sufficient. Summer, after all, is a time to take things easy and enjoy the bloom and fresh vegetables that have resulted from the good care we gave them in May and June. With shrubbery, fruit and other trees and many of the perennials, as a matter of fact, summer is a time of maturity, of preparing for the dormant period during the win- ter. These things will be hardier and better able to stand frost if their growth is not stimulated af- ter July. That means little or no cultivation and perhaps a mulch of grass clippings, leaves or straw to keep down weeds. But all of this does not mean that gardening should come to a complete stop in July. Even at that date in most parts of Canada it is still not too late to make third or fourth sowings of such vegetables as beans, carrots, beets and lettuce. They will grow quick- ly in the summer. and should be ready for the table towards' the end of August and early Septem- ber. Know Where They Are Tools are much easier to find the next time if they are put back where they belong. Some garden- ers ' we all know literally leave trails behind them. If a phone call or lunch interrupts the 'schedule, they drop rake, wheelbarrow or shovel right where they left off.. The tools are left to rust in rains. Or sometimes they are just too lazy at the end of the day to put things back where they belong. Then the next Saturday morning' is lost while trying to find the missing tool or stake or ball of twine. If tools have their own hooks, they will hang there ready for the next use, and they will do far better and easier work if they are kept reasonably sharp and clean. Extra Living Space There is no reason at all why all the ground around the modern home, front and rear, cannot be turned into an attractive and con- venient living space, and especial- ly the secluded part at the rear of the house. Actually, properly shaded and with lots of lawn, it can serve as an outdoors, living room, and particularly so .if there is a door and big, low windows im- mediately facing it. Then we can sit in the regular living room and see through into the garden, to the lawn, the flowers and the shrubs and vice versa. In that case the lawn is just another big cheer- ful room like a sun porch or ver- andah. To make it still more use- ful, it is an excellent idea to have an electric outlet or two outside, where lights and appliances can be plugged in. Seed Saving is For Experts While cleaning up, one finds quite often some seed left over from last year and is tempted to use it. This is doubtful economy. Fresh seed, after all only costs a few cents a packet, and yet all the care and work we put into our gardening absolutely depends upon the quality of the seed. Some seed, too, must be brand new each year or it will not grow, and in all cases it must be properly and carefully stored. Seed saved from one's own gar- den is a most doubtful proposition, because it is almost sure to pro- duce a mixture of all sorts of shades, colors. and varieties. In- deed if the original seed used was from hybrids, as is often the case, the progeny will not resemble their parents at all. Leave the breeding of new varieties to the seedsmen who know what they are trying to accomplish. Many of the modern varieties now sold come from hand - pollinated plants which are tended with precise care.
