Farmer Brown is getting ready to plant his vegetable crops
for next year. He needs to know when to start the seeds, and
how to plant them in his field. Use the information from the
back of these seed packages to help him get started.
1) These Sheboygan tomatoes need to be ready for market on
August 9. What date does Farmer Brown need to put his
seedling in the ground? How many weeks before that should
he start the seeds?
2) Should the beans be planted at the same time that the
tomato seeds are sown? If not, then when?
3) Farmer Brown wants 4 Sheboygan Tomato plants. How
many feet long will the row need to be if he wants to plant
them at 24” spacing?
4) What extra materials will Farmer Brown need to purchase
to help these crops grow?
5) How deep in the soil should the bean seeds be planted?
6) If the beans are planted on May 19, when should you expect
to be able to buy beans at Farmer Brown’s vegetable stand?
7) How many bean plants can Farmer Brown fit into 3 rows
that are 8 feet long?
