As we step into March, thoughts turn to gardening with the anticipation of more sunlight and milder days. As the first month of meteorological spring, it offers the promise of forthcoming warmer weather. While winter fades, March can still offer glimpses of frost or snow. Interestingly, some parts of the UK are more likely to witness snow in March than in December, the initial winter month. Stay prepared for the unpredictable weather as we delve into essential gardening jobs for March!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n March is the perfect time for planting a variety of seeds. Some do well directly outside, while others benefit from starting indoors until the frost risk is lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For sturdier plants, try planting directly outdoors after checking soil temperature with a thermometer. Use cloches or cold frames to protect seeds from harsh weather. Hardy annuals, like those in ‘poor’ soil, do best with no extra fertilisation. Half-hardy annuals, such as dahlias and cleome, along with perennials, thrive when initially planted under glass and later moved to fertile soil post-frost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n March is also a great month for sowing wildflowers<\/a>. Sow them anytime from March to October and enjoy blooming 60-80 days later. If you sow in early spring (March\/April), you are planting for summer flowers. Early autumn (September\/October) sowings result in early spring blossoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSeeds to sow in March<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
