FEB.] KITCHEN VEGETABLES. $9 



demand for the use of the kitchen, they need not 

 be much thinned out at this time ; but rather delay 

 the final thinning till April or May ; of which see 

 further in these months. 



Of sowing Parsley. 



Parsley may again be sown for raising succes- 

 sional crops, in cases where young parsley is in de- 

 mand ; and the Hamburgh sort for stewing, may 

 now be sown, if not sown last month ; which see, 

 for directions. 



Of sowing Peas. 



A full crop of Charltons may be sown at the 

 beginning, and of Marrowfats at the end of the 

 month ; choosing an open situation for either. For 

 the manner of sowing, distance, &c. see January ; 

 only observe to allow marrowfats, rouncivals, and all 

 the large kinds, six inches more between the rows, 

 and sow them thinner than the Charlton or blue 

 Prussian sorts. There are many kinds of peas, any 

 of which may now be sown, according to fancy ; 

 but observe, that the Charlton, dwarf marrow, and 

 Prussian sorts, are most productive : also fittest for 

 small gardens, on account of their requiring less 

 room than the larger kinds. 



Of earthing up Peas. 



Stir the surface about the early crops that have 

 risen, and earth up those farthest advanced in the 

 manner above directed for beans ; which also re- 

 peat at the end of the month, choosing a dry day 

 for the operation*
