Cardoons to Garlic and Shallots
Cardoons - to be thinned to one plant in each station, and that, of course, the strongest.
Carrot - Frame culture of small sorts should commence, to produce a succession of young Carrots for table.
Celery - to be planted out in showery weather. It is too late to sow now, except for soups, and for that purpose only a small sowing should be made, as it may not come to anything.
Chards - Those who care for Chards must cut down a number of Globe Artichokes about six inches above ground, and, if necessary, keep the plants well watered to induce new growth, which will be ready for blanching in September.
Cucumbers - on ridges generally do well without water, but they must not be allowed to suffer from drought. If watering must be resorted to, make sure first of soft water well warmed by exposure to the sun, and water liberally three or four evenings in succession, and then give no more for a week or so.
Endive - to be sown for winter. It will be well to make two sowings, say on the first and last days of the month.
Garlic and Shallots - to be taken up in suitable weather, and it may be necessary to complete the ripening under shelter.Source: The Culture of Vegetables and Flowers From Seeds and Roots, 16th Edition 1921, Sutton and Sons
