39^ The Kitchen Garden. [Aug* 



Gather alfo herbs to dry, to ferve the family in win- 

 ter. They mufl be cut in a dry day, and immediately 

 fpread to dry in an airy room: but lay them out of the 

 reach of the fun. When properly dried, tie them in 

 bunches, and hang them up in a dry room till wanted. 



Son.ving Coleiicorti. 



Where it v/as omitted laft month, you fhould now fow 

 feme feed for cole- worts. 



But this muft be done in the beginning of the month: 

 otherwife the plants will not get fcrength to be fit for ufe 

 at any tolerable time this autumn, and will {qt\q alfo- 

 both for the fupply of the enfuing winter and fpring. 

 See July. 



Tr an [planting Coletvorts, 



Examine the cole-wort plants which were fown in Ju- 

 ly ; let them be looked over about the middle, or to- 

 wards the latter end of this month: and fee where the 

 plants iland veiy thick, to let feme be drawn out regu- 

 larly, and plant them into another fpot. 



Let them be planted in rows, twelve inches afunder ; 

 and fet the plants fix inches diftantin the row. 



By this praftice, the plants remaining in the feed-bfds 

 will have more room to grow to a proper iize for plant- 

 ing out in general next month ; and thofe which are 

 now tranfplanted, will come into ufe three or four weeks 

 fooner than the plants which are left in the feed-bed un- 

 til September.- See July and next month. 



Prep a gale Saveei Herbs, 



Propagate v/here wanted, the different forts of aro- 

 matic plants: the flips, or cuttings, of many forts may 

 Itiil be planted, and will grow. 



Particularly the flips of fage, hyfTop, maftich, and 

 marjoram, will ftill fucceed ; but mult be planted in the 

 beginning of the month. The flips or cuttings mull be 

 about fix or feven inches long; but if thefe flips could 

 be now flipped off from the plants with roots to them, 

 it would at this time be a great advantage- and muil: 

 be planted in a fhady border, putting each cutting two 

 parts out of three into the earth -, and, in dry v/eather, 

 duly water them.
