A GARDEN KALENDAR 405 



Thinn'd-out the succade-vines, which quite choak the 

 frame ; & begin to rot for want of air & sun. 



Plenty of melons are sett, & setting. 



Every thing is strangely wet; & grass & corn begin 

 to lodge. 



5. Mended-out the rows of french beans, which are 

 come-up very poorly. 



7. Succades as big as pidgeon's eggs. 



Earth'd-out the second melon-bed, where there is pretty 

 good Haulm. 



Sowed a few Indian-turnep-seeds, given me by S r 

 Simeon Stuart. 



Prick' d-out a large Quantity of Savoys. 



Hot, summer weather. 



10. Fine weather. 



Plenty of Succades, which are as large as a goose-egg. 



13. Sowed six rows, a second Crop of dwarf-white- 

 french-beans. The first Crop is in a poor Condition. 



Earth'd-out the lining of the Succade-melon-bed, & 

 raised the frame. Thinn'd-out the haulm, which is full 

 of fruit. 



June 13. Set several Cantaleupe, & Romagna melons. 

 The succades are half grown. 



The frame now raised stands too high. 



Very windy weather.

 crop of Coss lettuce ; & planted-out a bed of Leeks.

 wet, & cold winds. Planted-out annuals. 



23. Summer-like weather. The Succade-bed has plenty 

 of fruit well grown : the Cantaleupes & Romagnas have 

 fruit set ; but the Haulm, & stems of the fruit are too 

 much drawn.

 & lousy.
