THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
Continue to plant out cabbage and cauliflower plants, early onions, beet and lettuce. Dig the ground well and keep the hoe constantly working along the rows.
Sow the following vegetable seeds: — Broad beans, early dwarf peas, carrots, parsnips, spinach, potatoes, parsley, turnips and onions. Plant garlic, shallots, potatoes and tree onions, asparagus roots in prepared beds and rhubarb roots. Mulch the old rhubarb roots with strawy to keep them warm and so promote early growth. Earth up Brussels sprouts and borecole as a protection from the strong winds. If the sprouts are ready for use start picking from the bottom. Plant out mint and parsley in some vacant corner; no garden should be without these two necessities. Earth up leeks and celery as they, require it; plenty of liquid manure at this stage will give splendid results.
