Spring Garden

Spring garden

    Springtime in the garden is often raining and still relatively cool, but with the teaser of sunny and warmer days to come.
It is a joy to see the garden wake up after winter. The highlights are spring bulbs, tree blossom and flowering shrubs.
Spring is also the busiest time in the garden, so try to get ahead before the weeds start growing.
This is the time to sow seeds, indoors and outside, and to make weeding a priority.
Therefore, we will break down the spring garden into three main categories: early, middle, and late:

Early:

    Prune roses
    Sow hardy annuals outdoors
    Tidy borders, weed and mulch with compost or manure
    Lift and divide herbaceous perennials

Middle:

    Start mowing the lawn regularly
    Plant new roses, trees, shrubs and perennials
    Prick out half-hardy annual seedlings

Late:

    Prune spring-flowering shrubs after flowering
    After the last frost plant out half-hardy annuals in containers and outdoor beds
    After the last frost plant out dahlias, bring out houseplants
    Take cuttings from new growth of shrubs and perennials
