Title
Help Feed Yourself: Make Back Yards and Vacant Lots Productive
Excerpt
Don't let your land loaf. Keep it working in all seasons. Don't assume that the season is too far advanced to begin garden operations. Some vegetables may be planted practically any time past the middle of the summer.
Start new crops between the rows of others that are soon to be removed.
Begin over again in late summer and plant vegetables that mature best in cool weather, such as radishes, lettuce, spinach, kale.
See that your garden toward fall is full of potatoes, beets, turnips, cabbage, and other staple foods that can be stored for the winter.
Grow lima and navy beans for harvest when ripe.
