A few onion seeds ⟨may⟩ be sown about the middle of the month, ⟨which⟩ often do better than those sown later. Prepare ground for potatoes, onions, ⟨and⟩ other roots. Gather fresh horse dung ⟨to⟩ prepare for making up hot beds for cucumbers and melons. As green house ⟨plants⟩ will require fresh air at all times, ⟨when⟩ the season will permit, a little may be ⟨given⟩ about mid-day, if the weather is mild ⟨and⟩ clear, and the wind still; and water may be given in small quantities to such ⟨plants⟩ as want it, picking off all decayed ⟨leaves⟩. Plant ranunculuses and anemonies. ⟨Sow⟩ tender annual flowers, on a moderate ⟨hot⟩-bed.
