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 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’
