GARDENER’S
CORNER

MARCH
We’ve made it through the
dark times! For me March is
the month of possibilities
and potential. The days are
getting visibly longer and
life is starting to show signs
of reappearing outside.
Shoots are shooting and if
you’ve been planting
indoors all your early
efforts are becoming
vibrant bursts of green.
So this is where the fun
really begins.
Weeds – The new
shoots of spring are
the first sign of new
life, but if the shoots
are weeds they’ve got
to go. Spend time
now really looking
after your beds.
Take the
time to
remove
every
trace of
weeds that
have
started to
germinate
under the
March sun.
In my
experience
trying to do
this quickly
will only lead
to more
trouble later
on. View each
bed as
something to be
thoroughly
cleaned and
tidied and don’t stop
until you’re happy it’s
perfect.
Go Hardy or go
Home - The
reason your beds
should be carefully
prepared is that
it’s time for
outside planting!
Although it’s
72
starting to feel like spring do
keep an eye on the weather and
