Fruit and veg job checklist - week 4

21 - 27 January 2013

It's time to...

Prune out the oldest stems from blackcurrants to encourage new shoots
Check crops that are in store and discard any showing signs of rot
Fork compost into the soil and clear old crops from the veg plot
Cover fruit trees and bushes with netting to prevent hungry bullfinches eating blossom buds
Sow the following crops under cloches during January and early February: broad beans, hardy peas, spinach, carrots and onions
