■ » > ; 4-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June llth, .1980 Second garden crop summer-long supply You can enjoy a steady supply of fresh vegetables this summér by sowing a second crop of beans, carrots, beets and lettuce in late June. "It is better to have a newly seeded crop coming along rather than trying to prolong the yield of the first crop," says Bob Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. "Once the early crops peak, yields begin to decline." Sow your second crop of green or yellow beans about the third week in June for a late August harvest. Apply a good general purpose fertilizer fertilizer when planting. For beets and carrots, lightly work a high phosphorus phosphorus fertilizer into the soil before planting. Sprinkle a small amount of fertilizer along the sidé of the row and work in gently once every three weeks. These vegetables vegetables will be ready by the end of August and should keep your kitchen stocked until late October. For a second crop of lettuce, use a heat-tolerant variety, such as Ruby or Butterking. Plant a 3 m (9.2 ft) row now, and repeat the planting in early July to. assure a constant supply of salad greens. Keep the lettuce well watered and don't let it wilt. To stimulate rapid growth, feed the crop lightly and frequently with a high nitrogen fertilizer. If you have extra garden space at the end of June, plant cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. If you use seeds sown directly into the garden, thin the emerging plantlets to 30 cm (12 in.) apart. You can also plant young seedlings for an earlier harvest. Water these crops thoroughly, and feed them occasionally with a good general purpose fertilizer. You can enjoy these vegetables vegetables from mid-October until freeze-up, which can be as late as November in southern Ontario. Lawrence moves Port Hope office Durham-Northumberland M.P. Hon.
