March is a busy month for most gardeners.

With the vegetables arriving at the garden centre and the dahlia bulbs for summer we have a lovely mix of plant and products available not to mention the perennial and shrubs arriving daily.

March is a lovely month; the evenings are longer, the temperatures picking up, the ground has been prepared for planting. It’s such fulfilling time to plant and watch as they grow and transfer into the ground. Then you can enjoy the long blooms as summer approaches.

The last of the bareroot is available to sow at the moment. As the ground temperature is rise rising it’s getting late to plant any bareroot plants. We have limited stock of Laurel and griselina available and for a smaller boarder we have some bareroot Buxus plants which make a lovely low border.

This is an ideal time to sow seeds weather its vegetable or flowers we have a nice range to choose from and one of the favourites in the flowers is Nasturtium the are great low growing flower and produce lots of colour in the summer.

Seeds are an economical way of having more flowers in summer. We have some lovely herbs available now and I especially love adding them to pots the scent is just added touch of beauty so as well as colour you have an herb for the kitchen.

The birds are singing early in the morning we have still some foods on special offer and feeder if you wanted to add to your collection an increase the birds’ songs in the morning.

March has so much gone on if you need to do a tidy up it’s a good time to prune Rose and other shrubs, mulch beds and add some nutrients around shrubs. Rapid grow is a great nutritional product that add to your plant’s growth, so by feeding your shrubs your are giving them a great start to the season.

“I love March as it gives me hope that new beginnings are always beautiful.”
