you possibly siawd
another couple of minutes sorting
out the successes and failures that
we started last week? Bear with
me, it shouldn’t take long.

1 don’t know. how I could have
mention. the

(Martha
Washington. geraniums). .. These
really are spectacular. planted in
largish- boxes sitting. in dappled

Can

shade. One thing to keep in mind’

with these is that they don’t need
daily watering ..: . if you get too

enthusiastic with the hose they

are very likely to turn, up. their
elegant noses and die.

The vegetable garden was also
a.curse -and.a blessing. The
but’

the soil and ate holes in otherwise
perfect specimens. . . it’s enough

-to make you weep!

The corn (both Kandy Korn,

and Ulini Xtra Sweet) had a bad ~

time. The cold weather. in early
spring: made
spotty, so we have less corn:than:.

--we-had hoped — ‘it’s good, but

pretty sparse.

The broad beans were great, -
but the pole beans and the scarlet.

runners have.-been infested for a:

“ month “now. with. black ‘aphids

that I’ve been unable to control.

because beans. should be. used

when.-they are small,.and as you
all’ know. scarlet runners” grow
inches. a.day, the darned things -
would. be huge and tough: by. the
time you could. use them. after
spraying. aN

The. container’s -“‘cautions”’
say, “‘Do™ not..use within seven
days of harvest,’? and.in seven
days. these beans would be a.
minimum of 14 inches in length,
and as tough as an old pair of ~

_ logging boots.

You could certainly use. this
spray on black aphids on the

squash leaves (and we have whole

tribes who are living there quite
happily) because you —aren’t
spraying the actual squashes.
Eric, thank you for thinking of
us. Gardeners’ are the “nicest

~ people. This spray. should also do
_ marvels for roses, not only killing

the . everlasting. aphids, but.
helping to control black spot and”
mildew.

This year, by using. liberal
doses:.of ‘hydrated lime in each
planting hole, we seem to have
root,..so..our:.
cabbages, cauliflowers and
broccolies have been wonderful.

THE REVIEW

year due in part, anyway to two
doses of liquid Diazinon applied
about a month apart, but the-
turnips, in spite of. the same
treatment and using a stronger
solution are full of those blasted
root maggots.

Really, when: |’ read over that
long list of problems it makes me
why .I- continue | to
struggle. ..‘‘Himself’’. looks
positively. euphoric when. I. talk
this way, thinking perhaps I’m
considering covering the whole
place with green Astro-turf, and

he. won’t.-even. have to mow.»
lawns.
However, when. we harvest

fresh tomatoes (beauties), cukes
(sweeter than. honey) and han-

--dsome lettuce for a salad, or have.

carrots, turnips, parsnips, chunks
of squash, and onions from the
garden. (his very favorite) all
cooked . together, he gets a
thoughtful. look, and
“Well, maybe the bugs. won't be
so bad next year.’

1 finally cut into one of the

Tahiti squash] have been raving.

about -for..months and it is an
amazing vegetable. All the seeds
are in the knob-like growth in one,
the. squash, and. the
remainder ‘of “these. 20-pound
solid;
delectable meat.

yellow,~

the.

bag, and add aripe apple or pear,
and store ina warm room.

The ones. you. want to keep
longer:should be washed off ina

solution of one tablespoon of

bleach in two. litres of water,
dried, then wrapped individually
in newspaper, and: stored in a
cool place.

If you put the greenest ones at
the bottom of the box you should
have

fresh tomatoes | ripening
slowly for ages.
Do. check on them... fairly

frequently, to make sure none of
them is rotting, it would be a
shame to lose them after all this
fussing around.

I have been dead-heading the
snapdragons: as. each spray of
flowers finished blooming, ‘and
there are lots more buds coming.
The lupins which | cut. off at
ground level (mostly to get rid of
those. bluish aphids) have also
made a-lot of new growth, and

are now flowering again.: I really

appreciate their efforts.
