OCTOBER
Get ready for winter. Blanch rest of endive. Bank celery, to be used
before Christmas, where it is. Gather tomatoes, melons, etc., to keep
as long as possible. Keep especially clean and well cultivated all
crops to be wintered over. Late in the
month store cabbage and
cauliflower; also beets, carrots, and other root crops. Get boxes,
barrels, bins, sand or sphagnum moss ready beforehand, to save time in
packing.
Clean the garden; store poles, etc., worth keeping over; burn
everything else that will not rot; and compost everything that will.
_Fruit_. Harvest apples, etc. Pick winter pears just before hard
frosts, and store in dry dark place.
