Spring is here again!
The birds are singing and so am!
The trees are blushed with green hues and blossom galore. The sight of an herbaceous border erupting with fresh new foliage is thrilling.
By now we should be reaping the rewards of our hard work in the autumn, enjoying the spring bloomers like tulips and daffs that lift us out of the winter doldrums.
Nurseries are gearing up for the new gardening season too. New plants arrive daily and many new varieties are now available.
Here are some things we should be doing this month.
Weeds will try and take advantage of the warm spring days. So, keep on top of them.
Keep an eye out for aphids. They love warm days, too, and lush new growth.
Prepare new borders for planting.
Feed bulbs and dead head them where possible.
Re-pot containerized plants and fertilize borders with compost.
