The Outdoors Seed-Bed
Having found how to get the outdoors seed-bed ready, we will next learn how to plant the seed.
Of course, you have made your list of the seeds needed, and have received them from the dealer.
If possible, it is best to run the planting of the rows or drills north and south so that the sun will shine upon the rows of plants all day, from the east in the mornings; from the west in the afternoons.
You will need a garden line to make a straight first row.
To Make a Garden Line
1. Cut two sticks about as large around as a broom handle, each eighteen inches long.
2. Point the ends so that they may be easily stuck into the ground.
3. Tie one end of a strong twenty-five foot cord to each stick. Roll the cord on the stick.
