In a nursery seed-bed make a sowing of early maturing
varieties of Cabbage and Cauliflower. Prune newly
planted Black Currants by cutting every shoot on the
young bushes back to two or three buds above ground
level. Gooseberries and Red Currants which were left
unpruned during winter to minimise damage to the
buds by birds can now be pruned.
