A Kitchen Garden

The old-fashioned kitchen gar- den had a lot to l mmcnd it. This is the small plot of ground. penhaps only 30 feet square, right at the door. In this position it is handy, especially when one wants toget a few onions or lettuce in n hurry. and it is an amazing thing how much produce one can grow in such a space.

As 'a matter of fact, for the average smaller gardener it ls best to grow beets, beans, lettuce, radish, carrots, etc, in rows close together in a kitchen garden of this kind and than in longer rows out in the main garden. The latter of course. is used for big bukry crops like corn, potatoes and peas possibly the main crops of beans, but the heavily planted, often cultivated kitohen plot near the house is an ideal location for the other stuff. located close to the house one can often spend odd
