Things to do in March

March is the first month of spring and there’s a defined shift as gardens awaken from the long dream winter. It’s about keeping an eye on as the weather can shift from a mild dat to a dusting of snow.

Jobs to do:

• Start mowing lawn and seed bare patches

• Mulch borders

• Prune shrubs with winter colour

• Prune bush and shrub roses

• Sow seeds under cover

• Harden off young plants
