Gardening tips for March

First lets start with a big get well soon to Fiona’s dad who has been poorly.
So we have attempted this months tips ourselves sorry if its not up to his excellent standard.

Prepare soil and lawn with a thick layer of mulch organic matter, or well rotted manure which I’m sure we all have plenty of.

Sowing can also begin outside but may need protection from frosts, early potatoes should now be well chitted so ready to plant. Other crops that can also been sown now are radish, lettuce, peas, broad beans, onions, turnips and beetroot. These should been sown at intervals to give a succession of fresh vegetables through the summer.

Happy Gardening
