December Making Plans 



The protection of certain crops ought to receive 

 attention if they have not already been made safe such, 

 for example, as Globe Artichoke, Celery, Parsley, etc. 

 If Broad Beans were sown last month it is wise to draw 

 the soil up to the seedlings, and the same advice applies 

 to Peas sown out of doors. To protect Globe Artichokes, 

 place straw, leaves or litter round the base of the plants. 

 Scatter bracken or straw litter among Celery, first com- 

 pleting the earthing if this has not been attended to. 

 Tubers of early Potatoes for planting in spring ought to 

 be selected and placed on end in shallow boxes in a light 

 frost-proof place. Parsley may be protected by means of 

 a frame or by placing a rough framework of sticks over 

 the plants and throwing a mat over these in case of sharp 

 frost. It is necessary to look over the stored roots of 

 Carrot, Beetroot, etc., and to remove decaying ones.
