Just wait and plan for spring. WRONG. Now is the time for the fall garden. A fall/winter garden is easier to By Shirley Felder Here it is September. The harvest take care of than a summer garden. Just turn the soil, add a few inches of compost and all purpose organic fertilizer to supply incoming plants with fresh nutrients. If you don't have raised beds, you will need to create good drainage. If you do have a drainage problem, please consider raised beds. Broccoli and cabbage can be planted with maturity dates of 60, 80 and 100 days. The root crops, such as parsnips, beets, radishes, onions and carrots can be planted with harvest at different stages of growth. White potatoes and snap peas can be planted now. Even arti- chokes. Lettuce, chard, spinach and salad greens tend to mature quickly. You can sow or plant out new trans- plants every 3-4 weeks throughout the winter if you want to. But my motto is "plant everything at once and be done with it". You have to water regularly dur- ing September and October, but once the rains come, you don't have to water at all. Another plus is that weeds don't grow fast in fall and winter. Insects aren't a problem in cold weather, but snails and slugs are. When the rains start, you have to control them. All of the above crops are hardy enough to withstand frost, except for lettuce and salad greens. To save them they would have to be covered. For those of you more interested in early spring flowers, zones 7-9, don't forget to plant sweet pea seeds this fall. Sweet peas are, not surprisingly, members of the pea family. However, there is an impor- tant difference between edible peas and sweet peas. Sweet peas are poi- sonous. They are called sweet peas for their sweet scent. They were discovered in Sicily in the 1600's by a Franciscan monk, Father Fran- ciscus Cupani. He sent the seeds to a botanist in Britain, who first raised sweet peas in his hothouse, but found them to be hardy outside. The original blossoms were small, purple and very fragrant. They did not become popular until the mid 19th century when they were "improved" by making them bigger and brighter. As the flowers grew larger their scent was neglected in breeding. Fortunately cottage gar- dens and sweetly scented flowers began to be treasured and earlier fragrant varieties of sweet peas were revived. Some of the old fra- grant blooming varieties are: Amer- ica, Cupani, Matucana, Old Spice Mix and Painted Lady. Once your fall/winter garden is planted the vegetables will do well. Now is the time to rest. The worst part will be going out in the rain to harvest. Don't wait, purchase your tickets early for the club's annual fall floral design program & luncheon Octo- ber 27, Kate Gleim program presen- ter. Tickets available by calling Kathy 527-9403, Diane 824-5661 or the House of Design.

Fruit Thieves Operating In This Section Fruit thieves are reported to be operating in a number of orchards in the Red Bluff district. Twenty boxes of dried peaches were stolen last night from the Vestal ranch, a few miles south- east of the city and other fruit growers are said to have lost the finished products in varying quantities. — Sept. 6, 1922 Pictured is Bucky and Gena Bowen on each side of a easel of a pictorial history showing photos of many of the groups that received financial donations from the Corning Exchange Club during the previous year.The photo easel will be used at Corning Exchange Club events, such as its tri-tip sales booth at local events to inform the public of what the Exchange Clubs contributes back to the community. Bucky gives his wife Gena all of the credit for gathering together the photos and information shown on the sandwich board, while he built the easel. The members of the Corning Exchange Club work hard, both as a catering club and the selling of fireworks so the club can continue to donate $10,000 annually to local youth groups and other worthy community organizations.
