Kitchen Garden, October 1819

This month, we're preparing to overwinter a variety of vegetables:

Plant out the cauliflower plants where they to be sheltered; two under each glass, for fear should fail; sow another crop of peas and beans in a sheltered situation, to stand the winter. Transplant lettuces under a reed hedge or wall; also cabbage plants and coleworts, where they are to remain. The cauliflowers, which now begin to shew their heads, must have a leaf broken in upon them to keep off the sun and rain.
