Carrots, cabbage, turnips, broc-
coli and beets arc vegetables which
will withstand light frost and
may be planted as late as Sep-
tember IS. Collards, kale, on-
ions, rape, and rutabages will
withstand heavy frost and also
may: be planted up7to Septem-
ber 15.
Spinach will not tolerate the
heat of late summer nor can it-
stand "wot feet". Wait until the
weather cools — from October 1
to 15 — then sow tho-seed on top
of a ridge or bed which is well
drained. Where rainfall is heavy
in east Texas and the Gulf coastal
areas, the Noble variety should
be used. N
Cabbage Aid lettuce planted
from seed in September should be
thinned in October or early No-
vember when the plants are about
three inches high, and a spacing
of 12 inches allowed.
With the coming of freezes" n
west Texas prepare a frame gar-
den about six by. 20 feet in which
greens, lettuce, beets, onions and
carrots can be grown.
