PLANT NOW Every effort should be made now to purchase Government Certified Seed Potatoes of a variety which has proved suitable to the climatic conditions of your respective districts. Onion transplants set out at this time of the year should be kept weeded at every opportunity. Early lettuce can also be planted preferably in a raised bed and transplanted when suitable. The ground into which they are transplanted should be rich in nitrogen, therefore several weeks before planting takes place the area should have a heavy dressing of blood and bone. Continue to sow broad beans in rows two feet apart and about four inches between the beans in the row.
