PROJECTS FOR MARCH

 

As the month warms up spring realy starts to appear in the garden and in the countryside. Daffodils, crocus and other spring bulbs are in full bloom in the gardens whilst in the country  the early flowering gorse is attracting the first foraging bees of the year.

In the garden there is plenty of work to be done on the fine sunny days and some seed sowing can be carried out inside when the weather is not so pleasant.

WILD FLOWERS start a wildflower garden
BEDDING PLANTS sow seeds for some summer flowers
WORMERIES compost your own organic waste
