Begin to prepare the vegetable patch, clearing and digging over on fine dry days.
Plant the early varieties of potatoes that you prepared (chitted) last month.
Start to cut grass on a high cut, when the weather is dry and breezy.
Now is a good time to cut down (pollard) willows and cornus that are grown for their winter colour.
Mulch beds before the weather becomes drier, with rotted grass clippings, leafmold, bark chips or one of the decorative mulches available from the garden centre. They will retain moisture over the summer, suppress weeds and keep the borders looking fresh.
