Gardening by Month: March

 

Personal wet wonderland' that sums up a garden in March. But good news! Super-saturated lawns and flowerbeds make it easier to dig out roots and weeds. Add a layer of peat to acid-loving plants; add a layer of compost around everything else. Start feeding as the weather warms and green emerges from the ground.
