Your Garden - March
 
If you are not sure what jobs you could be doing in your garden in March, here are a few suggestions:
 
Kitchen Garden
  • Clean and disinfect frames and greenhouses
  • Apply manures and fertilisers where appropriate 
  • Plant onion sets and shallots - seasonal products 
  • Chit seed potatoes - seasonal products
  • Plant new strawberries and cover established strawberries with cloches if you want an early crop
  • Sow early crops in your coldframe or heated greenhouse - seeds 
  • Start sowing vegetables without protection if you live in a mild area
 
Flower Garden
  • Finish planting bare-root trees and shrubs
  • Plant container-grown shrubs and herbaceous plants
  • Sow bedding plants in seed trays in heated greenhouse or on windowsill - seeds
  • Start pricking out early sown bedding plants
  • Plant summer bulbs - seasonal products
  • Prune roses

 

Lawns
  • Brush off wormcasts, leaves and any other debris
  • Hand-pick large weeds or use an appropriate weedkiller
  • Trim lawn edges with edging iron
  • Start mowing the lawn, but cut high initially to avoid risk of damage
  • Lay turf in mild areas providing the ground is not frozen or waterlogged 
 

Gardening will be very much dependent on the weather in your area with the timings given as a guide only.
