Things Are Awakening From Winter Slumber!

March is lovely; the garden is starting to wake from its winter slumber! The Crocus provide an excellent pop of colour, and more spring bulbs are beginning to appear, with more yet to be enjoyed in the coming months.

Plant lilies, gladioli, dahlia, or begonias in pots and borders to look forward to a stunning burst of summer colour.

Cut Cornus, Salix and Continus down to the base to promote vigorous new growth, coloured stems and larger leaves.

Vigorous shrubs like Buddleja and Sumbucus can be cut back hard to keep their size in check and promote more flowers.

Seed potatoes can now be put in a cool, light place to chit (sprout). Egg boxes are perfect for holding them.
