Harvest onions sown last autumn for early crops
Water celery regularly in dry weather
Bury shoot tips of blackberries and peg them down to raise new plants
Prune out about a quarter of the oldest branches on blackcurrants
Spray potatoes and outdoor tomatoes with Bordeaux mixture to prevent blight
Thin heavy fruit crops, picking off the smallest. Aim to leave developing fruits about 10-15cm apart along the stems, perhaps thinning congested spurs down to just a single fruit
Sow herbs now: parsley and coriander
Vegetables to sow now include endive, lettuce and salad leaves, beetroot, radishes, spring cabbages, kohl rabi, Swiss chard, winter spinach, Oriental greens, chicory, spring onions, swede, turnips for green tops
