MARCH IN THE GARDEN

A

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.

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.

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.

Ho m e m a d e Sa u s a g e R o lls I used to think that using sausages rather than sausage meat was cheating. However with the rather limited variations of sausage meat compared with a whole range of different flavoured sausages on the market, I have now revised that blinkered opinion.

A particular fave at the moment is pork and apple sausages - the sweetness of the apple really lifts the sausage roll to another level.

INGREDIENTS 6-8 Sausages (Pork & Apple) Block Puff Pastry 1 egg whisked Plain Flour for dusting work top and rolling pin METHOD 1. Remove skins from sausages and place meat in a mixing bowl. Then combine all the meat together to lose the ‘sausage’ shape.

2. Dust work top with plain flour.

3. Cut Pastry block in half.

4. Roll out each half into a long oblong. (approx 10cm x 70cm)

5. With a light dusting of flour on your hands, take a handful of meat; roll into a sausage shape and place on the pastry strips.

Continue until all the meat has been used.

6. Brush the whisked egg along the edges of the pastry to act as the ‘glue’ to bind the two pastry edges.

7. Fold pastry over the meat to form the roll.

8. Cut into preferred length of roll, place on a baking tray and put in the fridge for 10 minutes. This allows the pastry to firm up and retain the shape in the oven.

9. Before placing in the oven give the rolls an egg wash.

10. Finally place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven at 200ºc.
