Gardening Tips From Victory Gardens Director

Sow thinly, add sand to prevent crowding, keep seedlings light and moist, and transplant 2 inches apart then 4 to 6 inches apart as they mature. Protect midday sun, transfer to fresh flats, and insulate frames in cold weather then resume spring care. Plant dwarf peas in August for fall pods, radishes for winter storage, and note vegetables lose vitamins after picking. prep and cook close to use. Through cold frames one may enjoy fresh mint late into winter. a note invites help for the Gaston for Sheriff Committee at P O Box 148 Ann Arbor.
