The thing of first importance to consider
in picking out the spot
that is to yield you happiness and delicious
vegetables all summer, or
even for many years, is the exposure.
Pick out
the "earliest" spot you
can find--a plot sloping a little to the south
or east, that seems to
catch sunshine early and hold it late, and that
seems to be out of the
direct path of the chilling north and northeast
winds.
If a building,
or even an old fence, protects it from this
direction, your garden will
be helped along wonderfully, for an early start
is a great big factor
toward success. If it is not already protected,
a board fence, or a
hedge of some low-growing shrubs or young
evergreens, will add very
greatly to its usefulness. The importance of
having such a protection
or shelter is altogether underestimated by the
amateur.
Choose your spot wisely. You are
going to be putting a lot of time and energy
into his garden. Make sure you will get the just reqards.
