Last day for Potatoes


Sixteenth Week: April.

The planting of second-early Potatoes should now be done, and in most districts it will be safe to commit tubers of main-crop varieties to the soil. 

It is now time to make another sowing of Winter Greens, such as Brussels sprouts, Broccoli, Kales and the like. Your hoe is your best tool this time of year, the more you use it the better your crops will grow and the less weeds and bugs you will have to deal with.

Now is the time to start making sowings of Dwarf Beans, and if space is a problem you can sow the beans between rows of tall growing peas.



To have Peas for late July and August use, make sowings now. Deeply dug sow that is well manured suits this crop well.

Make sure that you keep your Asparagus beds are free of weeds because this crop will not tolerate weeds. Give the bed a light dressing of some feed.
