towards chriftmas, or after, and fome very early in the 

 ipring ; and if they fhould f^iil, the value of a little feed 

 is not much ; it is foon fown and Ts well worth the trial. 

 But this feed muil now be fown on a warm border, and 

 the proper time to fow it is fome in the beginning, and 

 more about the middle or towards the latter end of the 

 month. Let it be fown pretty thick, and rake it ia 

 with care. 



So-M Carrot Seed, 



A little carrot feed may alfo be fown in the iirfl and 

 lait week in the month on a warm border ; from this 

 fowing there will be a chance of having a i^w young car- 

 rots very -early next fpring, provided the frolt in winter 

 is not very fevere. 



Though as there is but little dependence on th:*s crop 

 fhould only fow a Imall fpot for a trial. "

 other carrot fhaped efculent root?, to preferve them in 

 fand, to be at ail times ready for winter fervice. See 

 November. 



Dig up Patatoes. 



About the middle or towards the end of this month 

 begin to dig up the general crops of potatoes to houfe 

 for winter ufe, for the roots will be now arrived to full 

 maturity and ibould be taken up as foon as poffible. See 

 that work in November 



Dung and trench Ground 



Such fpaces of kitchen-garden ground which are now 

 vacant, fhould, where intended, be dunged, and alfo 

 digged or trenched, that it may Jiave the true ad- 

 vantage of fallow from the fun and air in the winter fea- 

 fon. 



But in digging thofe pieces of ground which are to lie 

 in fallow till the fpring, it fhould be laid up in rough 

 fidges; for, by laying the ground in this form, it not 

 only lies much drier, but alfo the froft, fun and air, ca.* 

 come more freely to mellow and enrich it, than if it laid 



level ^
