Kitchen Garden, March 1819

 MARCH 

Sow carrots and large peas, cabbages and savoys, and also a second crop of parsnips and carrots.-- Towards the end of the month, put in large quantities of beans and peas. Sow parsley and plant mint. Sow cos and imperial lettuce, transplant the finer kinds. The last week make asparagus beds, clear up the artichoke roots, slip off the weakest, and plant them out. Dig a warm border, and sow some French beans.
