SUNSHINE AND SHOWERS<br />

BY KATE LINES<br />

Kates Top Tip : Take cuttings of your<br />

favourite conifers.<br />

Spring is finally in evidence as<br />

daffodils and flowering trees start<br />

to bloom.<br />

Expect the inevitable <strong>April</strong> showers this month<br />

but with sunny days too, when you can turn your<br />

attention to the lawn.<br />

It’s an exciting month, with indoor-sown seeds<br />

well into growth, and it’s also time to start sowing<br />

outdoors. Just watch out for frosts...<br />

Deadhead daffodils and narcissi; give them a liquid<br />

feed or a sprinkling of bonemeal and then let them<br />

die down. Don’t cut off the leaves as they are<br />

necessary to replenish the bulb for next year.<br />

Keep deadheading spring bedding to keep it looking<br />

neat, and to encourage new flowers.<br />

Now the soil is warming up and things are starting to<br />

grow, add general purpose fertiliser before covering<br />

with mulch especially in borders, the fruit and<br />

vegetable patch and containers.<br />

Carry on removing moss and weeds from paths,<br />

terraces and drives.<br />

Make new beds and borders - mark the shape with<br />

sand trickled from a bottle, remove the top layer<br />

of growing vegetation and dig the ground over,<br />

incorporating as much organic matter as possible. If<br />

you are making a bed in the lawn, remove the turf – if<br />

you dig it in the buried grass will regrow.<br />
