THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
Peas and beans want watering twice a week if continued picking is wanted.
Those gardeners who followed our advice about mulching are now reaping the benefit. It is not too late to start now.
After a good watering strew rotted manure and vegetation round the roots of those varieties that suffer most from drought. This keeps the moisture in .the ground. Gather the pods of peas and beans as they mature, otherwise the plants will stop bearing. Sow the following seeds if not already planted: Pie and citron melon, rock and water melon, radish, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, borecole, red cabbage celery.
Feed heavy-cropping fruit trees with liquid manure and hoe the weeds clear of the roots. Pick the strawberries as they ripen and water well.
