Kitchen Garden, February 1819

Prepare beds for radishes, onions, parsnips, and Dutch lettuce. Leeks and spinach should also be sown now; also celery, beets, marigolds, and sorrel, with any other of the hardy kinds. Make up the hot beds for early cucumbers, and sow cauliflower seeds, and some others. Plant beans and peas, observing to put in a fresh crop every fourteen days, by which means, if one fails, another will succeed. and a constant supply be provided. Plant kidney beans upon a hot bed for an early crop. The Battersea and dwarf white bean are the best sorts. When up, admit the air in the middle of fine days, and water gently every other day. Transplant cabbages plant out Silesia and cos lettuce from the winter bed; and plant potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes.
