The little crib, secondhand
but sturdy, has been scrubbed
and polished and fitted with a
brand-new mattress.
Oils and vitamins, potions
and lotions, cotton swabs and
downy towels wait in readiness
on a sterile shelf.
Time hangs heavy on my
hands, and my nervousness
increases as I count the days
until June 17.
I am expecting.
It's been a long, long time
since I've cared for a baby.
During my weeks of anticipation
I have broken into cold sweats as
I contemplate the errors that I
may inadvertently make with
this innocent infant.
I shall worry if he cries. I
shall worry if he does not cry,
and I may be driven to prod him
into noisiness to allay my foolish
fears. I will fret if he eats too
much, and I will agonize if he
fails to eat at all.
So definite are my plans for
a boy that I have padded the
crib in blue, and the tiny collar
and leash are of the same
delicate color. The legless crib
will be placed directly on the
floor of my undersized kitchen,
where it will command most of
the available space.
There my German shepherd
puppy will spend his
unsupervised nocturnal hours
until his house-training is
completed•
How well I remember the
pitiful wails of previously owned
puppies rudely removed from the
maternal canine bosom and
forced to face the cold reality of
;the human but not always
humane world!
Perhaps I should acquire a
kitten of compatible size to
share his youthful domain, thus
ensuring that the puppy will
grow to adulthood endowed with
an enduring fondness for felines.
"I suppose his whining will
keep me awake for a few
nights," I sighed to my Number
Two Son.
"He'll keep you awake for
approximately one hour," said
Sonny, "and after that you'll let
him sleep on the bed."
I wouldn't' thlrtk of Spoiling
a dog like that!" I exclaimed.
"And anyway, I have a better
solution to dispel the little
fellow's loneliness. I'll get two
puppies!"
(And two kittens.)
Some like the cat;
some like the dog;
and some, like me,
just go whole hog.

Tomato plants like tires
Don't throw away those old
bald tires you no longer can use
on your car - save them to help
produce earlier and better
tomatoes!
Experiments conducted by
Dr. E. Blair Adams, Cooperative
Extension horticulturist at the
Western Research and Extension
Center in Puyallup, showed that
placing a tire around a tomato
plant will help it grow and ripen
its fruit faster.
The black tires absorbs the
heat from the sun and radiates it
back on the plant during cold
nights. Since cool temperature is
the major reason for lack of
success in growing tomatoes, this
trick to conserve heat will be
helpful, especially in western
Washington where the amount of
sun and warmth is not ideal for
tomato growing.
For success in transplanting
bedding plants and garden
vegetables, don't plant outside
until the season advances far
enough for the plant concerned
(for frost-sensitive plants, until
after the frost-free date). Plants
selected should be established in
their containers, but not too
large. Bedding plants do best if
not yet blooming.
Late afternoon or early
evening is the best time for
transplanting, and the soil should
be moist. Plant at the same
depth at which they were
growing previously (tomatoes
should be planted deeper).
Retain as much soil on the roots
as possible and do not let the
roots dry before planting.
