LIPS to Gardeners
There have been changes in garden practices worth reporting. Gardeners once let vegetables grow large for higher pounds but poorer quality. Many crops taste better when not fully grown. Planting more often, every two or three weeks, keeps a steady supply of proper sized vegetables. Flowers from home seeds are often cross pollinated, resulting in inferior seeds.
