Harvest the main heads before they open. the plant
will produce an extended crop of smaller heads
through rest of summer.

Requires a soil pH of 5.5 or higher. Feed with a high
nitrogen fertilizer every 4 weeks.

Sow early, harvest when young. Sow successive
plantings every three weeks.

Spread a mulch of black plastic to the area before
the vines begin to spread. Prompt harvesting will
prolong the fruiting period.

Needs excellent drainge, a long growing season
and warm soil.
|

Do best in cool temperatures, so plant early and
harvest when the peas are young.

Do not provide too much nitrogen or you'll have lots
of plant, little fruit. A black plastic mulch will warm
the soil and promote good growth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plant a chunk of a 'seed' potato, containing 2 or
more eyes. Harvest when the vine begins to die or
has died completely. Leave the potatoes laying on
the ground for a day to harden them and prevent
bruising.

Rhubarb likes soil high in organic material. Keep
the bloom spikes cut off. Easily dividable.
|
|

Soil pH should be between 6.0 and 6.7 Apply nitrate
of soda between the rows to stimulate growth.
Harvest spinach when young or the plants will go to

allowed to crawl along the ground. Tomatoes will
ripen after they have been picked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do best in sandy soil with plenty of added manure.
Top dress with high nitrogen/potash fertilizer.
Needs warm temperatures to mature.
