What to do in the 11th week: March

11th week:  March:

Autumn fruiting raspberries, such as Autumn Bless, should be pruned now. Remember  that this type of plant fruits on the old wood, therefor you must cut down to an inch above the soil and give an feed of muck.

Potatoes should be planted on Good Friday, however, since Good Friday is so late this year (21st April) it is  good to perhaps make a start now.Allow two feet between the row and ten inches between in the row.

It is time for half-hardy annuals such as Asters to go in.

Rose pruning is another job for this time of year as well as forking in a good dose of decayed manure.

If you like a Melon seeds may now be sown, along with Cumbers an Tomatoes. They must be kept in a temperature of 60 degrees.

Make a sowing of  Turnips and summer Spinach, also Turnip-rooted Beet for sue in summer salads. Do keep in mind that is not easy to grow good Turnips unless the soil has been worked to a very fine state.
