H^o The Kitchen Garden. [May. 



The fticks for this purpofe fhould be from four or five to 

 feven feet high, according to the growth of the different 

 forts of peas : the iUcks fhould alfo be well furniflied with 

 fmall branches from within a little of the bottom to the top, 

 that the plants may readily take hold without falling on the 

 ground ; and the flicks fhould be prepared fan-faihion, fo 

 as the fide branches extend only the way of the rows. 



They fliould be placed on the funny fide of the rows ; 

 that is, if the rows range eafl and well:, then it is neceflary 

 to plant the flicks on the fouth fide, for the fun will natu- 

 rally incline the plants that way, and they will more readily 

 catch the Hicks ; and the flick fliould be placed at fuch 

 diilances as the branches of each other may meet. 



This work is very prafticable in private gardens, but 

 Would be endlefs labour for large crops in fields, &c. for 

 fupply of the markets. 



Endi've, 



Sow endive for an early crop j where thefe plants are dfe^^ 

 fired early, and in conflant fuccef?ion, it will-be advifeable 

 to few a little of this feed at two different times this 

 month. 



But never depend on the fov/ings of this month for a 

 jtiain crop, the plants being apt to run up foon to feed the 

 iame year; however, where a few early plants are required, 

 may f w a little feed about the middle of the month, and a 

 little more about the latter end : the plants of the firfl fowing 

 will not continue fit for ufe long; but the fecond fowing 

 will not run fo foon^ 



But the feafon for fowing the principal autumn and 

 winter crops, is the beginning or middle, and latter end 

 of June, and middle of July. 



This feed fhould be fown in an open fpot of rich earth ; 

 h muil not be fown very thick, and take great care to raice 

 it evenly into the gi-ound. 



Solving Pot-herbs y l^c. 



Parfley-feed may flill be fown, where it has been omitt^ 

 in the former months ; but it will be proper to fow it now* 

 where the fun has not great power. 



Sow more purflane-feed ; this fhould be done in the be-» 

 ginning of this month, that there may be a due fupply to 

 Succeed that which was fown in April. This feed will now 



grow
