A volunteer article on the spreading of weeds
E.S. Iddings read from the garden Magazine
that the seeds of perennials should be planted
in August and transplanted when large enough
to handle if they are expected to bloom the
next spring and summer.

Forethought says, we can still plant turnip
also kale and spinach at the latter part of August
Earlier planting of late cabbage is better but it
is not too late now if the weather is favorable
and you can destroy the worm pest. Make the
ground very rich for celery; plant the middle of
the month, water well and work often. Onions for
for early spring should be planted the last of
August, sets are better than seeds for this planting.
Plant cucumbers for pickles The Jersey
prolific the best, as it matures rapidly.
