PLANNING FOR FUTURE
WORK IN FEBRUARY. In February flowers, fruits and vegetables are in such quantities in the garden, that one is apt to forget the necessity of work and plans for future supplies. That way, however, lies disappointments to come, since there is plenty of work and future planning for the enthusiastic gardener. Much can be done to prolong the display of blooms by devoting a short time each day to the removal of withered flowers and any seed heads which have formed. Vegetables benefit also by the regular removal of pods, especially with dwarf and runner beans. Tomatoes, cucumbers and marrows also demand nourishment. Early bulb planting will claim attention, and the propagation of bedding plants for use next season, such as geraniums, heliotropes, etc. The sowing of annuals to replace those doing duty in the beds at present will need to be soon taken in hand. Whore sheltered sunny borders are available sowings of hardy annuals will give a quantity of bloom in late winter and early spring.
