Spring has almost sprung, but frosts still threaten. It's important to keep an eye on
more sensitive plants and cover them with frost clothes if needed.

Fruit trees may also require pruning to promote new growth and young trees will
benefit from being attached to stakes to help roots become better established.

Sow & grow: coriander, parsley, carrots, pip and some stone fruit trees, seed potatoes, beetroot, asparagus, radishes, tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries.
