  • Finalise the plan of your plot – have you decided what is going where?
  • When the soil is dry enough fork it through
  • Make sure your tools are cleaned ready to go
  • Order potatoes and start to chit them towards the end of the month (doing this in egg boxes is a nifty way).
  • Prune your fruit trees
  • Force rhubarb by covering the crown with a bucket
  • Get organised; prewrite plant labels.
  • Collect and clean seed trays.
  • Stock up on canes, pots, netting etc.

You sould still be eating your own, home grown;

Winter cabbages
Leeks
Parsnips
Spinach
Swedes
Hardy herbs

Tips

  • Packs of lolly sticks can be found in bargain shops; these make good, cheap plant labels. Write on them with an HB pencil and it won’t fade – you will remember what you have planted where!
