  2. Sow french beans, runner beans, carrots, cabbages, beetroots and salad crops outdoors - protected with cloches or fleece if frosts threaten.

  3. Plant any remaining seed potatoes and earth-up shoots of growing potatoe plants.

  4. Tie in peas to sticks or canes; pinch out tips of early broad beans to discourage aphids.
