Carry Comfort out of your Melon-ground, or turn and mingle it with the earth, and lay it in ridges ready for the Spring: Also trench and fit ground for Artichocks, etc.
Continue your Setting and Transplanting of Trees; lose no time, hard frosts come on apace; yet you may lay bare old Roots.
Plant young Trees, Standards or Mural.
Furnish your Nursery with Stocks to graff on the following year.
Sow and set early Beans and Pease till Shrove-tide; and now lay up in your Cellars for Seed, to be Transplanted at Spring, Carrots, Parsneps, Turneps, Cabbages, Cauly-flowers, etc.
Cut off the tops of Asparagus, and cover it with long-dung, or make Beds to plant in Spring, etc.

Take up your Potatoes for Winter spending, there will be enough remain for stock, though never so exactly gather’d.
