G A R D E N I N G T I P S Growing Techniques For Vegetables BASIL To produce more leaves on your basil plant, pinch off the growing tips of the top few branches. Side shoots will develop along the remaining stems. Pinching through the season yields a steady supply of young tasty leaves and keeps the plants productive by discouraging them from bolting. Olga Gresiuk, North Battleford SK. BEANS Start your green beans under a Remay Blanket. This helps germinate the seeds faster and also stops birds, skunks and mice from digging up the seeds. Nina Haleta, Sechelt BC. To hasten sprouting, soak seed in water overnight before planting. Marjorie Merrylees, Unionville ON. Plant soaked bean seeds along with unsoaked beans. If they are killed by a late spring frost the unsoaked seeds will come up later. If there is no frost, your beans have an early start. Gerry Irwin, Fort Fraser BC. BEETS When growing beets, make sure you keep covering the vegetables with dirt as they grow out of the ground. This will prevent them from becoming woody and tasteless. Lorraine Stoesz, Winnipeg MB. 138 BROCCOLI For the first broccoli harvest cut just below the head. New side shoots will continue to appear. Andre Grenier, Ste. Barbe QC. CABBAGE I find it most helpful using dried crushed up egg shells mixed well into the soil when putting out transplants of any member of the cabbage family. I have had a good harvest of these vegetables using this method. Marian Braan, Battleford SK. I use flour with the dusting powder to make it go further for dusting cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Put in about half and half. It works! Rose Calver, Grandview MB. CARROTS Mix carrot seeds with old (used and dried) tea leaves so it is easier to plant. Also tea leaves in the row helps to keep worms away. Eva Dobryden, Regina SK. Before harvesting your carrots, water them well for a few days and they'll stay crisp longer. Karan Spoelder, Coleman AB. Sprinkle sand in the row before planting. They grow better and pull out easier. Cameron Bracken, Cremona AB. W W W . M C K E N Z I E S E E D S . C O M
