If you only manage to get eight things done this month in your outdoor space, depending on its size and what you use it for, then these are the ones to go for:
- Sow under cloches beetroot, broad beans, Brussels sprouts, early carrots, lettuce, radish, spring onions, spinach, turnips, parsnips, early peas and salad leaves.
- Sow indoors cauliflowers, celery, leeks, onions, summer cabbage and early tomatoes for the greenhouse.
- Plant out autumn sown onions.
- Hoe frequently for weed control and soil aeration.
- Clean and weed asparagus bed.
- Add horse or farmyard manure and fish, blood and bone fertiliser in final soil preparation.
- Repair and tidy paths, patios and clean decking
- Dig in compost and fertiliser and weed borders.
