Jobs for the garden this spring

It's a very busy time in the garden. Here are some jobs which we'll be undertaking this spring:

​

• Applying a thick layer of quality organic mulch to borders, which we've tidied and weeded

• Lots of pruning. For example bush & shrub roses & dogwoods

• Preparing ground for laying new turf or sowing lawn seed in early spring

• Cleaning/tidying greenhouses and polytunnels in preparation for use

• Sowing crops for the greenhouse such as tomatoes & early carrots

• Planning vegetable gardens and starting to plant crops outside such as early potatoes and onion sets

• Starting the first lawn cuts of the year

​

After what seems like a long winter it’s nice to see some early spring colour from the bulbs and tubers we planted. Examples are Anemone blanda & Narcissus ‘Spring Dawn’
