Mar. The Gardeners Kakndar. 77 

 month, to fucceed that which was fown in 

 February. 



You may now fow Parfneps, Carrots, Oni- 

 ons, Leeks, Beets, Borage, Buglofs, Burnet, 

 Dill, Fennel, Chervil, Smallage, Alifanders, 

 &c, but thefe (hould be fown early in the 

 month, efpecially if the foil is dry, otherwife 

 they feldom grow large ; but upon a moid foil, 

 the middle or latter end of the month is time 

 enough. But as the feeds of Dill, Fennel, 

 Smallage, and Alifanders, do often mifcarry 

 when they are fown at this feafon, io in dry 

 land they will fucceed much better when they 

 are fown in autumn. 



The beginning of this month you (hould 

 earth up Alexanders to blanch them, which 

 will render them very tender, fo that in three 

 weeks time they will be fit for ufe ; for when 

 they begin to (boot their ftems for flowering, 

 they are good for nothing. This is alfo the 

 time for blanching Dandelion, which fome 

 people are very fond to eat as a fallet herb : 

 the plants may be procured from the fields, 

 and planted deep into the ground, in the fame 

 manner as is pradifed for Endive, which will 

 blanch it in three weeks fit for ufe. 



You may^ yet fow Parfley, Sorrel, Cher- 

 vil, Orach, Marigolds, and Spinach, efpe-^
