March
I'm excited to finally be looking towards starting my own front garden redesign. After the last few rainy months, it is something to look forward to ... and it's almost time to put the design into action!
April
Finally - it feels as if Spring has sprung!
There is much that can be done in the garden in April, including weeding and clearing beds, borders and pots, deadheading spring bulbs, sowing herbs and some salad leaves, sowing fruit and veg seeds and flowering companions in the veg plot, sowing grass seed to repair patches in a lawn, as well as creating some instant colour at the front of borders - and much more.
Enjoy the sunshine and the emerging shoots and flowers as they respond to the longer days and warming temperatures. But do remember not to get too carried away despite the April sunshine, as tender plants will still need some protection from late frosts.
At home, the front garden project has finally started. The digger has arrived and the dismantling of the old raised veg beds and front steps has begun.
