SAT VEGETABLES ALL WINTER
"I have been eating vegetables from
my fall frame garden since Septem-
ber,” reported Mrs. Ray Carter, Home
Pood Supply Demonstrator of the
Pettit Home, Demonstration Club.
One reasorf children used to be
given sulphur arid molasses or sassa-
fras tea in the'spring to “tone up”
their blood was''because they got so
lew green vegetables during the win-
ter months. Mrs. Carter has gather-
ed lettuce radishes, onions and mus-
tard from frame garden. Car-
rots, and beets are almost large
enough to eat. She also has cabbage
In the frame garden as an experi-
\ jgpjnt. It seems that it has a good
ebaice to produce and if it does, it
will probable be ready to use about
January.
A frame garden will provide quick
maturing vegetables like mustard and
tender greens, spinach, lettuce, rad-
ishes and onions. It may be necessary
to plant seed thicks because seed
germination is poor this time of year.
Seed soaked over night in warm wat-
er germinate faster.
