This year, therefore, we shall hardly have an
inch of room to spare in the market-garden here,
and all vacant ground, or what we call " dummy "
land, that has hitherto been utilised for standing
pea-boughs on or used for refuse-heaps, will be
dug and cultivated.
We know that our private customers will be
glad to send their friends to us for the nicely
mixed vegetable " basses " that are dispatched
each week to them, so that radishes, carrots, and
many other things are being raised in plenty.
" Greens," too, of every description abound on the
land, and little baby ones are waiting still in their
nursery-beds for the first wet day to come, when
they will be planted out, and, with ample space
round them, should grow to be bushy, fine plants.
