422 The Kitchen Garden* [Sept. 



Ihade them from the fun ; but when they have got root, 

 the glafles are to be taken entirely off, and are to be^ 

 ufed but very little for a month to come, but if there^ 

 fhould happen to fall heavy rains, it will at fuch time 

 be proper to put on the lights, to defend the plants 

 therefrom ; for too much moifture would prove very pre- 

 judicial to thefe young plants, and would occafion their 

 Ihanks to turn black and rot. 



When they have been in this bed a month or five 

 weeks, they are to be planted where they are to remain 

 «11 winter. See 'the work of Odlober and November. 



Michaelmas CauUficusers, 



Some of the cauliflowers which were planted out in 

 July, for the Michaelmas crop, will begin to fhew their 

 heads about the end of th>6 month, or beginning of next. 



Let thefe be encouraged as much as poffibje, by hoeing 

 between, and drawing the earth up round the ftem of 

 each plant, and keep them clear from weeds. 



If the weather in this month proves dry, form the ' 

 earth like a balon round each plant, and pour water 

 therein : this will encourage them to grow freely, and 

 produce large heads in Odober and November : for if 

 they are ft? n ted now for want of moifture, their heads 

 will be fmall at their proper feafon. 



Broccoli. 



Tranfplant your laft crop of broccoli, the firft or fecond 

 week of this month, into the place where they are to re- 

 main to produce their heads. 



Dig a piece of rich ground for thefe plants in a warm 

 fitL.nion, and plant them in rows a foot and a half afun- 

 der, and obferve the* fame diftance between the rows, 

 wh.ch will be fufficient room for. this late plantation. 



Hoe the ground and deftroy the weeds between the 

 broccoli which were planted cut the former months, and 

 let earth be drawn up round their ftems. 



Planting late Sa'voys. 



Plr.nt out a late crop of favoys the beginning of this 

 morLf., by ^ay of favoy coleworts, or young fmall 

 headed favoys cowards the fpring, planting them in an 

 ©fen fituation half a yard afundcr. ,
