Garden to Furnish Fresh Food at all Seasons.—A w e 11-managed garden should furnish food at all seasons of the year. The same season varies in character from year to year and, of course, there are great differences in the climates of the Gulf Coast and the Panhandle, so that no statement would fit all sections; but a few general suggestions will help to guide the beginner. In the climate of Austin, as early as January, one may plant the hardy vegetables that a light frost will not kill, such as turnips, radishes, lettuce, spinach, mustard, cabbage, onions, carrots, beets, and garden peas. Occasionally a very cold spell will kill some of these, and they will have to be replanted. In case they escape there will be radishes and greens in February, and a plentiful supply of vegeta- bles in March and April. All of these may be planted. Fig. 121. A home-made sled marker.
