October in the
Garden
By C. C. Wood.
Thore is very little planting to be
done in the vegetable garden during
October except the perennial roots
sec has asparagus and rhubarb. How-
ever, spinach and corn may be plant-
ed 1101v and wintered over under a
mulch of extra early "greens" next'
spring, Corn salad planted now will
give you the earliest outdoor grown
salad next spring that you have ever
grown and the spinach from October
planted seed will be far ahead of that
planted at the earliest possible time
after the snow leaves in late winter.
Fall is also a good time to plant
asparagus and rhubarb in the home.
garden. Fall planting of these hardy
roots not only relieves a part of the
rush work of spring but they have
time to get established before grow-
ing weather comes on in the spring
and they aro all ready to go ahead.
Plant the asparagus in well enriched
soil in rows at least three feet apart
and 15 to 18 inches apart in the row.
The crowns of the roots should be
three or four inches below the 'sur-
face of the soil. Everything consider-
ed one -year-old plants are the best
size to use.
It may be well at this time to give
some thought to the proper storage
of the harvest from the vegetable
garden. After a good crop of vege-
tables has been grown, it surely pays
to give the question of proper storage
enough attention to insure them be-
ing kept in good conditlou until want-
ed. Conditions suitable for keeping
onions successfully are entirely
wrong for beets and so on throughout
Me whole list of vegetables. Three
main requirements must be taken in-
to account in storing these crops dur-
ing the winter, namely, moisture, ven-
tilation and temperature. In storing
the root crops such as beets, carrots,
rutabages and turnip In a dry cellar,
moist sand should be spread over
them to keep the roots from wither-
ing. This will not be uecessary in a
cellar carrying sufficient moisture. A
portion of the parsnips and salsify
may be handled in the same way but
the part not needed during the winter
should be allowed to remain in the
garden to be "sweetened up" by the
action of frost. A temperature just
above freezing is all right for these
vegetables in storage.
The onion is one. root crop wlricjr
absolutely will not stand the treat-
ment given the roots mentioned in
the foregoing. A. temperature around
35 degrees with free circulation of
air and a dry position is just right
for it..
Pumpkins, squash, and sweet pota-
toes require more heat for successful
storage -50 to 00 degrees will answer
the purpose. Stored on shelves near
the furnace is good treatment for
these crops.
Tomatoes, although seldom hand-
led as a stored crop, may be kept for
use long after all outside vegetation
has been killed by frost. Select par-
tially ripened and the largest of the
green fruits, wrap In paper and store
in a cool, dry place.
Celery, endive and Cos lettuce may
be kept until well into the winter if
stored with the roots in moist sand
with as much soil as possible and
place them close; together on the cel-
lar floor. If the cellar its too light for
tate foliage to branch properly, they
may be covered with . newspapers.
Keep the roots moist but do not get
water on the foliage or rot will result.
Cabbage needed during the winter
may be stored in the "cellar. This may
be dono with the roots and 'outer
leaves on just like they are when
taken Rom the garden or the heads
may 130 trimmed ready for use and
stored in single layers on a cellar
shelf.. That portion o fthe cabbage
crop intended for use daring the
spring months will keep better if
stored in a pit or trench outdoors.
Dig a trench wide enough to accom:
modate three rows of heads and as
long as needed. Line this trench with
a few inches of straw and place the
cabbage !leads dower and roots at-
tached. Cover with a good layer of
straw and over dile put enough earth
to keep the straw front blowing away.
If you have never tried cold frame
gardening in the fall, October is a
good time to start. I am sure you
will be surprised at the quantity of
material which can be grown in the
small space of just one frame. If you
have small plants of Grand Rapids
lettuce or one of the sure heading
hinds growing in the garden, trans-
plant some Of them to the frame, pro-
tect from freezing during the cold
weather .and you should have lettuce
during November until Thanksgiving.
Thore is still time to mature a crop
of radishes In the frame. Try.one of
the quick maturing varieties such as
Sparkler or Rapid Red. It `may take
some experimenting to perfect your
,teclinigno In frame gardening but the
effort will be eminently worthwhile.
