JVork to be done in the Kitchen- 

 Garden. 



gF the weather in this month proves 

 hot and dry, it greatly retards the 

 growth of moft efculent plants; 

 and particularly the Beans and 

 Peas which are in flower (efpecially thofe on 

 drylands) frequently fuffer greatly; mofl of 

 their bloflbms falling off before their maturity, 

 fo that they are not fucceeded by pods. But 

 when this month happens to be wet, the mar- 

 kets are plentifull) flocked with mofl forts of 

 garden plants. But this does not only increafc 

 the quantity of plants, but alfo a great plenty 

 of weeds, whereby the labour of a kitchen- 

 garden is more than double of what is re- 

 quired in a dry feafon ; for if the young crops 

 are neglefted but a very fhort time in moifl 



weather.
