Finish any other pruning of evergreens, including hard pruning of holly and yew hedges
Privet hedges that weren't pruned in autumn can be done now. If very hard pruning is needed, do just one side and the other side next year, so as not to stress the plants. Then mulch around the hedge with some well-rotted compost to boost the growth
Plant runner beans in 3in pots of general-purpose compost under glass, for planting out next month.
Leeks can be sown in short rows or in pots, for planting out in rows later on.
Plant onion sets, 6in apart, and pushed into the soil until just the tip shows.
