"The English Husbandman (The Second Booke)" by Gervase Markham is an agricultural treatise written in the early 17th century. This instructional work focuses on various aspects of husbandry, such as managing a kitchen garden, cultivating a variety of plants including herbs and flowers, and caring for livestock. Markham's aim is to present practical advice sourced from English experience rather than relying on classical references, making it a valuable guide for the English farmer of his time. At the start of the book, the author provides an overview of the content, including the importance of understanding weather patterns and their impact on farming. The opening chapters discuss the signs of various weather conditions and how they relate to agricultural activities, as well as the selection and preparation of ground for planting. Markham emphasizes the knowledge needed for successful gardening and farming, detailing the necessary steps for sowing and cultivating various herbs and plants, aiming to create a robust foundation for readers looking to enhance their agricultural skills and practices.
