It's time to...

Cover soil with cloches to warm it for early sowings
Finish winter pruning fruit trees and soft fruits
Cut stems of autumn-fruiting raspberries to soil level
Chit seed potatoes, standing them in trays in a light but frost-free position
Plant Jerusalem artichokes as a windbreak on exposed plots
Sprinkle sulphate of potash fertiliser around fruit
Sow seeds of broad beans, carrots, hardy peas and parsnips outside in soil that's been warmed with cloches
