Love is in the air, and so is the anticipation of spring gardening. Let's get our hands dirty:
? Plant seed potatoes by placing them eye-end up in trays or egg boxes in a well-lit, cool, and frost-free location. This encourages sprouting before planting.
? Sow crops like broad beans, lettuce, and other hardy vegetables. Start them off in greenhouses or cold frames for an earlier harvest.
? Stay on top of brassicas maintenance. Remove any yellowing leaves to keep your plants tidy and promote healthy growth.
? Consider planting asparagus if you've been contemplating it. Ensure the planting area is weed-free and mulch with a generous layer of organic matter.
? Apply general fertilizers such as Q4 or grow more/blood fish and bone to borders. This provides essential nutrients for the upcoming growing season.
? After pruning, remember to mulch your trees and cane fruit. This helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and provide nutrients to the plants.
? Finish planting garlic cloves. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil and plant them at the recommended depth.
? Take advantage of any milder days to venture out into the garden, soak up the fresh air, and observe the subtle signs of spring approaching.
Remember, gardening is a journey, and each step we take brings us closer to a beautiful and productive garden. Enjoy the process and let your love for gardening bloom! ???
