Prune spring-flowering shrubs immediately after flowering, such as forsythia, ribes, chaenomeles, pyracantha and kerria If you haven’t done so already plant Lilly bulbs in pots - you can either enjoy them on the Patio or drop them in to any empty spaces in your borders. Plant out potted alliums in groups to add interest to flower beds Sow your Sunflowers outside just where you want them to flower. Now is the time to plant out your Sweet Pea seedlings that is if you were successful with your seed planting last year and the mice haven’t eaten all your seeds !!! Install water butts to down pipes on your house, shed or greenhouse to collect valuable rainwater. If you have concerns about Mosquito larvae then all you need to do is put in a couple of toads (two for company) into your water butt I believe they are quite happy popping up for air periodically and enjoying the delights of the larvae ( not tried this yet) I’m told it works. Clean out pond pumps and filters Start to spray Roses that are vulnerable to disease a weak solution of washing up liquid is as good as any shop bought spray. Tie in young delphinium growth to plant supports Secure emerging Clematis shoot to supports, take great care as they snap so easily Plant Herbs of your choice. Keep large sheets of fleece available, to cover young and tender plants should frost be forecast. Build Log piles at the back of borders for wildlife to shelter Water clumps of tulips and spring bulbs with liquid feed You can’t relax - keep your eyes peeled for the slugs and snails they are out there hiding, just waiting for the first leaves of your Hosta to show - and they will have them the minute you RELAX ! Plants are able to make their own food by capturing the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar. But in order to stay healthy and give the best results they take additional nutrients out of the soil or compost, so it’s important to provide them with supplementary fertiliser. The basic nutrients required by plants are nitrogen (N) for leaf and stem growth, phosphorus (P) for root growth and potassium (K) for flowers, fruit and to maintain healthy growth. THE GARDENER’S PRAYER I’ve weeded day by day. Judge that my sins I east away and am now shriven. And here Your sunbeams come to play, and moonbeams on this path do stray. Your stars look down from heaven. Will You not take this pattern bright as handiwork for Your delight and bless this little garden? See how the lilies tall and white stand unafraid within Your sight, and ask, for me, Your pardon. by Wilhelmina Stitch
