This is a good time of the year to break up grassland
for vegetable growing. Bastard trench and bury the
turf ; no manure should be necessary. Lift the main
crop of Carrots and Beetroot and store in a suitable
place ; late sowings of these crops can remain in the
ground until later in the season. Grease-band fruit
trees.
