Seasonal Jobs & Planning

Spring

As the weather warms up, you will notice the garden bursting into life. Here are a few idea to keep you up to date.

	Dig any new beds or boarders in fair weather. This will allow frost action to assist in the breakdown of the soil.
	Plant bare root shrubs and deciduous trees.
	Tidy borders by cutting back dead herbaceous growth and clearing leaves.
	Inspect tress and woody shrubs for wind and frost damage and remove dead branches.
	Begin cleaning and sterilising pots and equipment.
	The first grass cut of the season: use your highest mower setting.
	Begin preparing ground for seeding or turfing.
	Think about baskets and containers for the coming seasons.
	Consider seasonal bedding schemes and border planting.
