Tending the Kitchen Garden, August 1819

I came across this while researching produce seasonality in period recipes, and was very intrigued by the year-round garden work scheme. Here's what we should all be doing in our kitchen gardens for August. If it's 1819.

Sow some spinach and onions on a warm border. They will live through the winter, and be valuable in the spring. In the second week, sow cabbage seed of the early kinds, and the week after, cauliflower seeds the plants of which must be nursed under hand-glasses during the winter. A week afterwards, another crop should be sown in case of accidents to the first. This last crop should be defended by a hot-bed frame. Sow the cabbage and brown Dutch lettuce on a warm sheltered piece of ground. Transplant some of the earlier lettuces to warm sheltered borders. Take up garlick, onions, rocambole, and shalots, and dry them for winter use.
