1 Plant evergreen trees and shrubs and put up windbreaks to protect new trees and shrubs.
2 Trim grey-leaved shrubs to keep them bushy.
3 Stake tall-growing perennials and deadhead daffodils and primroses.
4 Sow globe artichokes, which can be planted out on light or loamy soil in full sun.
5 Tomato plants started in January should be ready to move into their final pots or be planted directly into a glasshouse border.
6 Continue to lift and divide clumps of congested perennials and grasses.
7 Cut back lavatera hard, as new shoots will soon appear.
8 Tear off rose sucker shoots growing from below the point where the variety is grafted on to the rootstock, where you see a lumpy bit on the main stem.
