✿ FLOWER GARDEN ✿
- Mow the lawn.

- Plant summer flowering bulbs, and hardy perennials.

- Sow hardy annual seeds.

- Watch out for plants in containers drying out as the weather warms up.

- Renew the top layer (1.5cm-2.5cm) of compost in containers to renew the goodness and provide a mulch to supress weed seeds. You can also mulch beds and borders too. Keep an eye out for weed seedlings breaking through still and pick them out when they are small.

✿ VEG GARDEN ✿
- Veg seed sowing starts now. Practically all veg can be started in March.

- The more tender veg need to been sown and grown indoors for a few weeks, then get hardened off by taking them outside in the day, then giving them shelter at night for a couple of weeks, and by the end of that process the risk of frost should be passed to they can be planted out into a veg bed, or border, or container.

- Some veg are hardy enough to be planted straight outdoors now. These include:- beetroot, carrot (early varieties), spring onions, mangetout, peas, leeks, parsnips, salad leaves, and kale.

- If you are sowing peas, as soon as the first shoots are up provide them with some support to grow up. That could be a few twiggy sticks pushed in next to the plants, or a net stretched out between canes.
