They occur as a result of careful plan- ning. Before breaking ground consider what you want to do with this garden. Decide exactly which vegetables or flowers you wish to grow and the amount of time you have available. Plant vegetables that are favored by your family. It could be a waste of time and space to plant a vegetable that only one member of the family enjoys. Keep in mind that plants need sun, moisture a well-drained soil and adequate space - space unencumbered by roots from trees or shrubs. Keep those shaded areas for vegetables like lettuce, spinach and the cabbage family as these items easily wilt in a hot sunny area. If you would like to have both a flower and a vegetable garden but don't feel you have enough room, consider interplanting. You can edge a flower bed with leaf lettuce or parsley or you can mix tomato or pepper plants in with those marigolds for a nice touch of red, orange and yellow. If your vegetable area is visible from the front of your house, interplanting is an excellent disguise. Lay out on a sheet of paper a scaled-down version of the area you wish to use and indicate exactly which plants will grow in each row. Take note at this point which plants are suitable to each other. For example, you would not want to plant side by side one plant that requires a lot of water with one that does well when left to dry out. Setting up a plan in advance will save much time later on and could mean success instead of failure with certain plants. Having decided the where and the what, outline the area and cut the sod into sections that will allow you to be able to pull them up without a lot of strain. (Use these pieces to fill in those bare spots in your lawn and the rest can go to the compost heap) When the ground is workable dig, loosen and turn over the soil. A good time to do this is after a heavy rain. If your garden is anything like mine it will be loaded with rocks. You will probably never be able to get rid of them all but remove at least the large ones. If the area is small enough, you may wish to sift them out Allow the newly turned area to remain a short time while you take a breather and then spread mature compost or organic fertilizer and turn again to mix. When the time comes for planting those seeds you will have already laid a solid foundation and will be on your way to peak garden yields. Next week: WHAT TO PLANT Questions about gardening problems will be answered as they are received. Please direct your questions to The Garden Beat, c/o The Post Chemo-Demo The Children's Room of the Farmingdale Public Library will present a special program for youngsters of all ages on Tuesday, March 23, from 4-5 p.m. at its Branch Library.

If you won't be getting a pension... read this... Many people are not covered by a pension program with their employer. If you're one of them, there is now a tax- deferred way for you to build toward your own retirement fund. With a Metropolitan Individual Retirement Program you can defer taxes each year on up to 15% of your income or $1,500, whichever is less, by putting this income to work to help assure your future financial security. O A pension is nice to look forward to. But if it's not in the cards for you, give me a call and I'll show you what Metropolitan can do to take its place.
