3 Jobs to do in the garden

1

Sow basil Start germinating basil seeds indoors, sowing a few more seeds than you need. Water lightly and place in a propagator or on a bright windowsill.

2

Plant beans Sow broad beans, like ‘Aquadulce Claudia’, outdoors in southern, sheltered areas. Put directly in well-drained soil and harvest delicious beans as early as May.

3

Position supports Place supports in your garden now, so that any plants in need of a helping hand can easily grow up through them this spring.
