THINGS WORTH KNOWING
It is not generally known that broad beans in their uncooked state are poisonous, and therefore dangerous to children. Great care should be taken to ensure that they are not left lying in baby’s way. Keep your annuals free from dead flowers and seed-pods, and your garden will be fresh, and the blooming season prolonged. As soon as flowers become small and past their best pull out the plants. Annuals left in too long attract insect pests and are a menace to the garden. Fig trees need lime in the soil and the absence of it often causes the fruit to drop before fully developed. Loosen the earth around the trees and work in five or six pounds of the imigorator to each tree.
