Jobs for the First Week in February
Preparing Cold Frames and Sowing seeds in Greenhouse
Any gardener with cold frames can, this coming week, begin preparing the soil by forking over and fertilizing ready for early sowings. After doing this put the lights (lids/tops) onto the frames to allow the soil to dry and warm up before sowing. Anyone with a greenhouse which has some heating in it can sow some early crops of Broad Beans now (suggested variety – The Sutton), either into small pots or module trays. Use a multi purpose compost.
Plant Garlic Cloves
Providing conditions are right not to cold or frozen ground this is the time to plant garlic cloves they will grow and be ready for harvest in mid summer.
