ls it true that you should always plant cucumbers on the east side of a garden?
A. As far as I know, it’s true, but I carry it a step further. All vine crops—cantaloupe and watermelon, not to, mention squash—are planted at the east end of my garden because these plants always grow toward the east and will run over the top of other plants. Q. Do you really have to plant so many kernels of corn to the mound in order to get corn? A. Yep! According to my teachers, all old experts, you must plant four seeds to the mound. If you’re planting in rows, plant seed nine to twelve inches apart and two feet between the rows with at least three rows. And always plant on the west side of your garden so the corn can protect the other plants from warm, dry winds.
