This month marks a new season – Spring!
The much-anticipated stretch in the evenings and the frequent sunny days provide the opportunity for a wide range of gardening tasks.
Top things to do this month:
- Plant strawberries
- Plant shallots and onions
- Chit potatoes
- Start sowing outdoor seeds for lettuce, spring onions, carrots and peas
- Sow seeds indoors for tomatoes, cucumber and celery
- Protect new spring shoots
- Plant summer-flowering bulbs
Salad weather is approaching and is there anything more rewarding than gathering your salad staples, fresh from your own garden – well then now is the time to get started!
For the above we would recommend Forker’s Fruit and Veg Compost or our new Peat Free Planter for sowing vegetable/ fruit seeds and plants.
Use Forker’s Multi-Purpose with John Innes Compost for summer-flowering bulbs.
