It makes him wonder why he did not think of it sooner. Such a thing happened to this gardener recently. It just so hap pens that my special garden bug aboo is setting out plants. It seems to me that it is the worst possible task for the gardener. Digging the holes, crawling along or atooping to put in the plants, not to mention watering and keeping them from drying up in the hot aummer sun. Finding myself with an over supply of late cabbage plants, which my thrifty soul rebelled at throwing away, the problem arose as to where to put them and how little hard work it would take to care for them. Out of the turmoil came this method. For making the holes, something easier than digging them with a hoe or shovel. Why not some way of making a hole large enough to receive the plants with one thrust say a pointed stick? Not so good, as a stick big enough would take some thrust to make the hole deep enough for the plants which were rather long and spindly A scouting trip out back, where discarded objects usually come to rest brought to light a dis carded shovel handle, which had been sawed off about half way. For some reason also the iron sleeve had been left on where the shovel originally was. There was my garden tool all made to order, except for taking it to a piece of iron and taking a ham mer and flattening out the end so that it would be sharp enough to penetrate the earth easily. That iron piece on the end was just right. The stick is just long enough so that the shoulder can get behind that thrust when it is put into the ground and one does not need to stoop over too much. It occurs to me that if one is lucky enough to get a hold of a regular short handled spade or shovel with the regular hand hold on top it would be better still. As the garden was rather dry and I would need plenty of water in this job anyway, why not make it easier still? So with my hoc I made the little ditch for one row, and while it was Si filling with water t made an other. By the way, I ran out of space about the first thing, so I decided to plant cabbages right along with the strawberry plant? I set out rather late this spring. They won't need all the space in the wide rows this year anyway. The extra water and fertilizing and cultivating it will take to make that cabbage crop keep i coming along will work wonders for the strawberries. In fact coming right along with the cab bage. Also little rows were made beside the peas, which will soon be pulled out anyway. Early plants were planted some time ago beside the lettuce and spin ach and radishes, so the cab bage crop now holds full posses sion. Also any place in any row of other stuff that is empty re ceives a cabbage plant. This is just some more adventuring in super gardening which I men tioned some time ago. As soon as the newly made ; row has filled with water and the ground soaked up, new rows were made to receive water, and as soon as the water had seeped into the ground, I took my shovel handle tool and went down the row, poking holes about every 18 or 20 inches. The holes should be six or eight inches deep, as those spindly plants are drop ped into them right up to the lirst leaves. That puts the roots down where the earth is moist and cool so that when the plants become established I won't have to worry about watering so often. They make big cabbage heads that way too. As soon as the plants had been dropped in, the .water was again run down the row, washing in water and soil around the roots. As the plants had been rather j close together in the place that they were originally grown, I . soaked the bed well and then pulled up the plants by grasping them near the ground and pull ing gently. While the water was running down more rows, I took my stick and went down the row, setting it in the ground about an inch from the hole holding the plant and shoving the moist earth against the plant in the hole, thereby shutting out the air. That proceedure was as far as I went for the day. I used no shade of any kind, depending IT'S EASY UNDER F.H.A. For example, you can purchase: New bath fixtures New cabinets and trim New linoleum (installed) New paint and new tileboard New towel racks and new shower fixtures Or a new kitchen sink and cabinets A new 30 gallon electric hot water heater installed. Payment above based under F.H.A. A on the moisture and the cool nights and the deep setting to offset any effects of sun and wind. While the larger leaves do wilt, they could be picked off, but trying to save time and labor I did not bother the plant until the morning after they were set, when water was again run down the rows and filling the holes at the side of the plant carrying more moisture to those deep set roots. It is at that time that it is a good idea to put either fine barnyard manure or com mercial fertilizer along the row so that it will wash into the holes and make the nourishment quickly available for the newly set plants. In the next day or two the rows were hoed and the holes filled up. Keep watering after that.
