Aim to do as much cultivation as possible in the next three months and as little as you can get away with in the spring.
This is an old Suffolk farming saying, and, if you are one of the many gardeners working on a clay soil, then these words of advice still apply.
David Urquhart has spent the last ten years dealing with heavy clay soils and agrees that every day spent now on improving the soil structure is worth six or seven in the spring. Production assistant

A series of eight films about Britain from 1945 to 1951. 2:Making Do

The first years of peace don't bring the longed-for treats. If anything, life gets harder. There is more rationing and more queuing. Snoek, whalemeat, and even a roast beaver, enter the British diet. The black market flourishes and so does the spiv. But people are growing tired of controls. Protest is led by a respectable but militant group - the Housewives' League.
