    SUPPORT PEAS

    Early sowings of peas need supporting to keep them from flopping over on to the ground. Twiggy sticks are easiest for this purpose – just push them into the soil alongside plants.

    HARVEST ASPARAGUS

    The first asparagus stalks will be ready from midmonth. Cut them no taller than 18cm (7in). Use a sharp knife and cut about an inch below the soil surface.

    FEED FRUITS

    Prepare fruit bushes, trees and canes for the season ahead. Tickle in a slowrelease general fertiliser around plants then apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost.

    Plant out broad beans that were begun under cover. Set plants out about 23cm (9in) apart in both directions.
