SPRING ARRIVES... FINALLY!<br />

BY KATE LINES<br />

Kates Top Tip : Feed trees, shrubs and<br />

hedges with a balanced fertiliser.<br />

Spring usually arrives by mid-<br />

March and the frequent sunny<br />

days provide the opportunity for<br />

an increasing range of gardening<br />

tasks.<br />

It’s time to get busy preparing seed beds, sowing<br />

seed, cutting back winter shrubs and generally<br />

tidying up around the garden, which I cannot<br />

wait for!<br />

Although they seem short lived, deadhead the<br />

flowers of Narcissus (daffodils) as they fade, but<br />

allow the foliage to die down naturally.<br />

Pots and tubs benefit from topping up with fresh<br />

John Innes compost. Old compost can be removed<br />

and replaced with new if there is not much room for<br />

topping up.<br />

It’s good to also plan ahead, you may wish to get<br />

your sweet pea wigwam growing supports ready. In<br />

mild areas, you can transplant young plants to the<br />

feet of the wigwam, using a light twine to tie them in.<br />

Mow established lawns if the weather is mild enough<br />

and the grass shows signs of growth. Ensure the first<br />

cut of the season is light, you can raise the blades<br />

to achieve this. Any bare patches of grass can be<br />

re-sown at the end of the month.<br />
