590 A KALENDAR OF WORK 



Kidney Beans, Lettuces, Peas, Rampion, Spinach, and 

 Turnips. 



Plant out Love- Apples against walls, poles, or banks ; 

 and also Capsicums on a warm south border. Prick out 

 Celery, and thin out Cardoons. 



Hoe out Carrots, Leeks, Onions, Parsnips, and 

 Turnips. 



Transplant Cauliflowers from frames and hand- 

 glasses ; and plant out Winter Greens. 



June. 



Plant out Cucumbers and Melons in frames ; the 

 latter must still be followed up with new beds. The 

 runners of Cucumbers will now begin to grow too long 

 to be contained under the hand-glasses : the glasses 

 must be raised upon bricks or garden pots, and the 

 runners turned out upon the ridges, placing some short 

 grass, straw, or reed underneath them, stopping the 

 runners at five or six joints from the stem, and fixing 

 each at a regular distance with small hooked pegs. 



Prepare Mushroom Spawn, in the manner directed 

 under that head. Continue to sow Cape Broccoli, 

 Garden and Kidney Beans, Lettuces, Peas, Radishes, 

 Rampion, Spinach, and Small Salading. Knight's 

 Marrow Peas are the best for sowing this month, 

 and the last sowing should be about the 24th ; these 

 will continue to bear till October or November. 



Hoe Beets, Carrots, Leeks, Onions, and Parsnips. 

 Prick out in beds, or as edgings, the most curled plants 

 of Curled Parsley, Curled Cress, and Curled Chervil 

 for seed ; also Broccoli and Winter Greens, Celery and 

 Celeriac, and Tetragonia Expansa. Love- Apples must 

 be kept trained close and at length. Asparagus must 

 not be cut after Midsummer ; and if seed is wanted, it 

 should be saved from a few of the earliest and very 

 largest heads.
