In My Garden My experience seems to be the common

one that vegetables early more or less failed, while later crops germinated and adrnirably. One may almost say, it is never too late. A great ad cage in very late sowings is that the plants appear when their s enemies have disappeared. This is especially noticeable in If you sow the stump-rooted sorts in. July, or even in August, almost always germinate well, keep free from insect attacks, though never growing big give most pleasant food into winter.
