Textile specialists advise equal top and bottom hems to allow reverse hanging after laundering. Frequent washing extends curtain life by removing grime and grease that wear fibers, and light fabrics dry quickly whether pressed or hung damp with extra rod through lower hem to keep even.

Extension horticulturists recommend Chinese cabbage as an excellent food both cooked and raw. It is a cool season crop that thrives in fall and winter gardens. For best results, grow during cool weather in rich soil with adequate moisture.

Growing Lettuce Heads From Seed in Home Plots

The guide describes sowing lettuce seeds in rows with 19 to 12 inch spacing, thinning, maintaining moisture, and using one seed pack for about 50 feet of row. After establishment, apply a nitrate dressing, keep weeds down with shallow cultivation, harvest heads when fully developed, and use them for salads or cooking.

Cabbage stumps should be removed from the garden and destroyed or put in the compost heap. Leaving stumps will invite cabbage worms to feed and grow for next year's crop.
