MARCH IN THE GARDEN

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.

2 The Market March 2018

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.

Stay a step ahead with Complete Care with Marlborough Vets4Pets

healthy pet needs lots of care and attention, and that means vaccinations, flea and worm treatments and regular health checks along with all your love and affection. Our Complete Care plan helps you save at least 20% on preventative treatments in a 12 month period for your dog, cat or rabbit. Therefore, not only does our Complete Care Plan give you the reassurance of knowing you are providing the best possible care for your pet, it also helps you spread the cost of routine treatment throughout the year. Keeping health issues at bay takes an expert’s eye, which is why our clinical team recommend regular visits to the vet. It’s the perfect way to spot problems and treat them before things get worse. With our Complete Care plan, your pet gets their annual vaccination against a host of dangerous diseases, these include, Parvo Virus, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Distemper and Kennel Cough for Dogs and Cat Flu, Feline Panleucopaenia and Leukaemia virus in Cats. We also recommend yearly vaccinations for your Rabbits to protect against Myxomatosis and Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD) Also included is year round protection against fleas, ticks and worms in cats and dogs, or against seasonal fly strike for Rabbits. We recommend regular treatment to help prevent against these parasites and believe prevention is better than cure so will help you to decide which treatment is best suited for you and your pets. There are many other perks which can be taken advantage of when on the Complete Care Plan. These can be tailored

to your pet and include:  10% off neutering  10% off dental procedures  £5 off a consultation  10% off in-house laboratory work  Wellness Blood test for £30  Microchip for only £10  Free nail clip  10% off Seresto collar  10% off Adaptil Free nurse consult for weight check and diet discussion. There can be a lot to remember when making sure your pet is receiving everything they need to, so with the Complete Care you will receive reminders of when your annual vaccination is due and to collect flea and worm treatment when it is required. We have a great team of vets, nurses and reception staff waiting to welcome you and your pets, 6 days a week. Our generous 15 minute appointments ensure we spend time with you and your pet and that you are fully informed and involved in every step of your pets care. We strive to treat your pets like they are our own, and our vets and nurses are highly experienced and offer a really friendly and down to earth service. We are proud to be an RCVS accredited practice. This means that the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons has inspected our standards and concluded that Vets4Pets Marlborough is providing the highest standard of animal care. We are passionate about pets and dedicated to providing the best possible service we can. We hope to see you soon at Marlborough Vets4Pets!
