Kitchen Garden, December 1819

I swear peas and beans get planted every month of the year. And more asparagus!

Plant cabbages and savoys for seed. To do this, dig up a dry border, and break the mould well; then take up your stoutest plants, and hang them up by the stalks five days, and then plant them half way of the stalks into the ground, drawing the earth round them like a hill. Put in another crop of peas and beans to take their chance. Make another hot bed for asparagus. Continue to earth up celery, and cover your endive with pea-straw.
