Man] The Kitchen Garden. ili 



Many of the kitchen gardeners, about Lonaon, fow 

 their onions and leeks in beds five or fix feet wide, with 

 alleys eighteen or twenty inches wide between bed and 

 bed, and in thefe wide alleys fow their pickling cucum- 

 bers aljont the middle or latter end of May, or beginning 

 of June ; and by the time the onions are full grown and ga- 

 thered, the cucumbers will be in fall bearing, and if fpread 

 out, will cover the ground \vhere the onious grew ; and 

 if leeks remain thinly on the fame ground, the cucumber 

 vines may readily be conducted between thfem*

Any time in this month, you may fow fome borecole 

 for the fervice of winter and next fpriii^. 



There are two forts, the gre^iA and the brown, both 

 Very hardy plants, and defirabic open greens for winter, 

 as they ftand the hardefl fiofls. But for a particular ac- 

 count of them, fee the work of next month; 



Let this feed be fowed in a fdll open expofure, diftajit 

 from trees, walls, and other fences, as irl fuch fituationS 

 they are apt to draw up too fail, with long weak Ihanks ; 

 fow it broad-call, and rake it in evenly; for other particu- 

 Lirs fee the fucceeding months. 



Sow more radiih feed,* to raife a ffipply of fadifhes to 

 fucceed thofe fown lall month. 



There fr.ould be fome cf tliis feed both of the falmdn, 

 and fhort-tbp kind, fown at three different times this month ; 

 that is, at the beginning, middle, and latter en-d ; by 

 Which means there will be a due fuccclfion of young 

 radifnes for the table* Let this feed be fown now, in 

 an open fpot, and where the ground is good and of a 

 fomewhat light, pliable nature. 



Li ibwjng thefe feeds, obferve the method mentioned in 

 the two foi-mer months; 



Thiri the crops of early radifhes, where the plants ftand 

 too clofe, palling iip the worit, and leaving the beft plants 

 Handing at about tw6 or three inches diilancc, and clear 

 them from weeds* 



In dry weather, let the early crops of radiihes be fre- 

 quently watered, otherwife they will not fweil freely, and 

 svill be fticky arid hof,
