GARDENING IN OCTOBER
THE VEGETABLE PLOT,
A busy time faces the gardenerduring this month. All the main crops should be sown or planted in quantities to supply the needs of the household, Seedling crops 'must bo attended to, thinniugvthem oiit as soon as they require it," and keeping the soil loose between the rows. Weeds, too, must'bo kept'down if the best results aro to be obtained. Towards the end of the month, or early in November, is early enough' to put out tomatoes, mid oven (.hen a warm sheltered position should be chosen. .French and butter beans, being tender, should not be sown too early. They will not survive any frost, and cold winds damage the plants too. Pumpkins may be planted out, but should have some protection until established. • . .'■■..-.• . '
