Order seeds if you haven’t already
Continue winter pruning
Now is the time to do renovation pruning

I need to cut back the Pyracantha , it;s getting a bit wayward , String gloves and long handled loppers needed here

Cut back the DogWood . Every year I think "Oh I;ll cut it " then it gets leaves and I cannot bear to chop it , Though now it is a lovely welcome bit of colour ( though it has some dead woody bits )

I need to find a rectangular deep pot for my climber ( Boston Ivy or Virginia Creeper cannot remember which)

Then move some pots about I'm going to move the tomatoes up near the house this year .
Last year I made tiny enclosures for seeds out of 2 litre pop bottles . (Cut top bit off , fill with compost , add seeds , squeeze the top half back on ) Then they sat in the mini greenhouse till they started to grow . I put mesh layers over the spout to keep slugs out .
