MARCH IN THE GARDEN

Planting Now is a good time to move evergreen shrubs. Summer flowering bulbs can be planted now. Finish planting bare root trees and shrubs and new fruit trees and bushes Replant snowdrops and winter aconites now that their flowers have faded. Edibles • Plant early potatoes, onion sets, and asparagus crowns • Parsnips can be sown outside, as well as

herbs towards the end of the month. • Feed all fruit with potash • Spray apples and rears to prevent scab • Prune your gooseberries • Harvest the last of the winter crops Lawns At the end of the month reseed any bare patches. You should be able to start mowing your lawn but only trim the top for the first couple of cuts. Indoors plants/Glasshouses Start watering your indoor plants regularly now the weather is warming up. Prepare the greenhouse for the growing season by cleaning down all worktops, glass, containers and pots with disinfectant. Ventilate your greenhouses whenever the weather is good. Put grow bags in the greenhouse to warm up before the planting. Maintenance Get your pumps out of storage, remove any netting and start feeding your fish. With the warmer weather - watch out for those little pests and diseases Keep on top of weeds with regular hoeing Deadhead daffodils as the energy will be used producing seeds. Shade young seedlings on bright days.

t last! We have reached the light at the end of the tunnel. This is the month where we can officially declare the arrival of spring with flowering bulbs popping up all over the place. However don’t get too excited as this month can be very fickle with glorious sunshine one minute and arctic conditions the nextSo when the weather is good make the most of it and crack on with the tasks that are mentioned below. Preparation Don’t be tempted to buy bedding plants it is far too early. Start mulching those beds so to give a helping hand to those plants, which are starting to poke their heads through. Put stakes and other plant supports in to support new growth before it really needs it. Propagation The sowing of hardy vegetables and annuals can begin in. Increase your perennials by taking basal stem cuttings from the new shoots. Sow your sweet peas and when they start appearing pinch the growing tips out. Sow half hardy and frost tender bedding plants under cover. Pruning Prune bush and shrub roses; cut hard back any shrubs with colourful winter stems; this will promote new growth for next winter which has the most intense colour. Prune back winter flowering heathers and give them good high nitrogen feed. Renovate large climbers and tie in any loose branches.

NATIONAL BED MONTH

arch is national bed month and to celebrate Elite Beds will be having lots of special offers, making it the ideal month to think about giving your grotty old mattress the heave-ho and invest in a better night’s sleep with a comfortable new bed. As a good nights sleep can’t always be guaranteed it is up to you to regularly assess sleep quality and comfort levels. It may, or may not, seem obvious but the best place to start when working towards a better night’s sleep is your bed. Did you know for instance that when replacing an uncomfortable bed with a new one we can get nearly an hours extra sleep! Now who doesn’t want that? Here’s out top tips for buying a new bed. Spend as much as you can afford - you get what you pay for - both in product and service. Plus it’s probably one of the most important

investments you’ll make, not just for your home but for you own wellbeing! Remember, ever £100 you spend represents less than 4p a night over 7 years and if there is two of you that is 2p a night! Spend time trying out the mattress ideally at least 10 minutes - to find out one that is most comfortable for you and your partner. Wear comfortable clothing, remove any outdoor gear and adopt your normal sleeping position. Don’t forget a bed is a mattress and a base working together don’t consider them in isolation. Think Big - larger beds are more comfortable. Being disturbed by a sleeping partner is one of the most common complaints. With

a larger bed you are less likely to disturb one another. Elite Bed and Mattresses at Units 1 & 2 Windsor Drive, Devizes have a choice of over 25 mattresses for leading manufacturers including Hypnos, Kaymed, Mlily, Airsprung and many more. They offer a choice of traditional mattresses and some with modern manufacturing processes including Gel Foam and foam encapsulated mattress.

If you have money or property and become unable to deal with your affairs because of an accident or illness your assets may be frozen. If you have a stroke, or develop Alzheimer’s, your family may have to apply to the courts to deal with your affairs. This can be expensive, may take a year or more to complete and a large sum of money may have to be deposited with the courts! A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives somebody of your choice the power to deal with your financial affairs if for any physical or mental reason your were unable to. It is the only document which gives this power but you can complete one while in good health, so you need to act as soon as possible.
