Three gardening periods this week
Barron - 1st-3rd May - avoid planting. “Spoil your soil with goodness”

In temperate climates sow radish, onions, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, and try ginger too.
In frosty zones sow radish, swedes Jerusalem artichoke, and turnips.
Cultivate period 6th - 9th Just do a few odd jobs - store away hoses and protect water timers if you intend leaving them in situ over winter, they will explode if frost gets to them, so cover with a box or some sacks.
