Mlaiakes Too soon, too cloi!M!, and too deep it Ia claimed. are the new gardenel'!l most common mistakes In sowing either vegetables or flower seeds. 1'be averaae amateur starts opera- tions days or sometimes weeks too soon and stops long before satis- factory operations can be continu- ed. With the general run or vere· tables and Dowers, thent is no ad· vantage In getting things In while there Is still danger of serious frost One set-bact from a cold day or two completely offsets the early start and may Indeed mean replant • lng the whole garden. This cau- tion or course does not apply to very hardy vegetables or Dowers or to grass seed. These should be sown Jw;t as soon as grass Is fit to work. The second m1stake o! too d:cp planting Is also a common one. Authorltle~ recommend as a gen- eral rule only ' plantlng to a depth of three Urnes the diameter or the . seed. This means that seeds like peas and beans w!ll be covered with about an Inch or soU but tiny things such as lettuce and poppies wtll be merely pressed ln. Spacing Is Important and yet even the enthuelut does not care to spend much ·tlme kneeling and thin- ning. Labor can be saved by prop- erly spacing the seed u planted. com. beets, peas and similar plants with big seeds can easily be sown at the distances advocated on the packet. With t:ny seeded lettuce or alyssum however- It Is practical• ly Impossible to space by hand but If the seed 1s first mixed with a lit- tle sand and the whole sown care- fully plants wm be ·spread out.
