THE TENTH MONTH

3

Sukkoth. The fragrant citron was cultivated as early as 4000 B.C. This citrus fruit is known as etrog when used as part of the Four Species during the Jewish ceremony of Sukkoth.

4

Full Harvest Moon. No two gardens are the same. No two days are the same in one garden.

?Hugh Johnson, English writer (b. 1939)

5

Child Health Day. Carrots can be left in the ground during a few light frosts; the cold will sweeten them. Dig them up before the ground freezes or

mulch heavily to extend the harvest.

18

New Moon. The wind in the west Suits everyone best.

OCTOBER HATH 31 DAYS

For every fog in October, a snow in the winter.

31

Halloween. To roast pumpkin seeds, spread 2 cups cleaned seeds in a shallow baking pan and drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil, stirring to coat. Bake at 325?F. Stir frequently, until the seeds are golden and crunchy, about 1 hour. Serve as is or sprinkle with salt.

To Be a Bee Q:

Can honeybees see colors? A:

Honeybees can sense colors ranging from yellow and green to blue and ultraviolet. They can also detect an ultraviolet-yellow combination named "bee purple." The bees can't see red--it would appear black to them.

Although many chrysanthemum types are hardy perennials, in northern climes they may need winter protection of 4 to 6 inches of mulch after the ground has frozen. You can also overwinter mums by placing them in pots after the first fall frost, watering them thoroughly, and then putting them in a dark area where it stays between 32? and 50?F. Keep the soil moist.

ASK THE OLD FARMER:

What is a gully washer?

Nunavut Day (Canada)

15 16 17

ANSWER:

A gully washer is a heavy

rain shower that carves gullies in dirt roads (especially if they're on hills) and clogs the ditches with debris. Gully washers come on quickly, possibly creating flash-flood conditions unless they cease just as suddenly--which is not unusual.

Is It Fresh?

To test an egg for freshness, put it gently into a bowl of cold water. If it sinks to the bottom, then it is suitable for use. If it floats, it is too old.

There is a kind of joyous nonsense about. In the puddle at our lawn's edge, black ducks splash, happy as in a sensible marsh. . . . Our native woodcock waddles, like a wet doughnut, through the snow to find a worm. Oh, Spring days--so mad, so brief--enchanted!
