    March is a wonderful month; when new growth starts in earnest in the garden and we welcome the official start of spring. More daylight hours and lighter evenings make it a great time to get outside and plant something new, so here are my top 10 choices for adding colour and beauty to your garden this March.

    This beautiful, bright red coloured flowering shrub is one of the best known and loved of the flowering quince. Such a cheerful, welcoming sight and it has a very long flowering period too.

    It produces fruit in the autumn that can be made into a delightful light pink colour jelly. Also, if space is limited in the garden, it can be trained against a wall making it the perfect addition to the spring garden.

    This dwarf daff is not only highly weather and wind resistant, but also packs a huge punch of colour with its bright yellow petals and warm orange trumpet. Ideal growing in groups around shrubs and under trees, they also look wonderful in pots placed near the house.

    Evergreen perennials are few and far between and this is just one of the reasons why this plant is so special. It has rounded, deep-green leaves forming ground-covering clumps.

    It produces lots of pure pink flowers on red stems over many months that are popular for pollinators. Keep the plant looking neat by dividing when woody growth appears in the centre.

    It’s this time of year that trays of multi-coloured polyanthus are seen for sale in a wide number of places and they are invaluable for adding a splash of colour around the garden.

    There are gold and silver-laced polyanthus that look striking and were very popular in Victorian times. The single flowers have unusual golden eyes and margins.

    Next is a great compact evergreen shrub that grows well in shade and needs very little pruning. It also acts as a pollinator for any female skimmia planted nearby to ensure the female variety produces red berries.

    Thick clusters of scented creamy-white flowers bloom over several weeks to brighten a woodland garden area or shady shrub border. It benefits from a mulch of well-rotted compost after planting and watering.

    Such a delight to spot the first sprays of its funnel shape flowers in early spring. This cultivar forms large, upright clumps with long broad leaves covered in light spots which show up beautifully when grown in a shady area. The flowers are violet-blue in colour and the plant as a whole is easy to grow.

    If you have acidic soil, then this beautiful evergreen shrub with deep green shiny leaves deserves a place in your shady garden border. It has highly scented, deep pink double flowers and is best planted beside a wall to give winter protection.

    In addition, it needs to be planted out of the way of early morning sunlight which can damage flower buds after a frost. When growing in pots try to water with rainwater rather than tap water.

    A tall, upright shrub producing soft yellow flowers with a rich spice scent in early spring. The leaves also have a similar scent too when rubbed. The shrub looks great with a selection of spring flowering bulbs planted around the base.

    In autumn, they provide wonderful autumn colour because the leaves turn shades of red and purple and edible black berries grow. Once flowering is done, pruning should be done immediately.

    This unassuming looking plant makes fabulous ground cover for that dry, shady corner under a tree. It’s also great for this because it’s fast to establish and generally a trouble-free plant to grow. In spring, cascades of bright blue flowers cover the plant.

    Finally, this British native wildflower is bound to be a talking point in your garden with the unmistakable checked markings on its purple flowers.

    It’s very hardy and looks wonderful naturalised in lawns, but also looks great in containers. However, when growing in containers, the soil must remain moist, so regular watering when in containers is a must to keep it looking happy and healthy.

    This year, National Gardening Week celebrates ‘Edible Britain’ which hopes to encourage the country to share their love of home-grown grub and inspire the next generation of gardeners.

    As more people begin reconnecting with where their food comes from, we’re turning to growing at home for food we can trust and many of us are bursting at the gills with bright planting ideas. And rightly so—your garden can be a non-stop source of nutrition; a treasure trove of untapped resources you can unlock for a tastier teatime. All these great gardening efforts will have a wider impact too, benefitting the local community by encouraging people to take steps towards better mental and physical health.

    Likewise, through gardening we’re helping local wildlife as well as supporting efforts towards greener spaces and reduced waste—both of which will help take care of the environment.

    The truth is that everyone has space to grow something delicious to eat. You don’t have to become an expert at cropping to make a start, why not get involved at your local community garden or project? Don’t fret if you’re low on time, there are heaps of ways to join the craze from the comfort of your own home: from weird and wacky weeds to wild and wonderful approaches to patio planting. Take part in harvesting at home to not only experience the joy of growing but reap the rewards of fresh food you’ve foraged for free!

    A well-stocked patio will give access to homegrown harvests at arm’s reach—visit pavestone.co.uk for piles of patio inspiration.

    Plus there’s the added benefit that they’re not a permanent fixture, so you can take them with you when you move. Take a crack at these care-free container crops:

    • Radishes, carrots and tasty tomatoes can all be grown in pots and will add a healthy dose to your diet. But, for me, beetroots truly trump all the other container crops as they’re loaded with antioxidants—and you can even eat the leaves as a spinach substitute.
    • If floor space is limited, just grow vertically instead. Sow lettuce ‘Lollo Rosa’ in intervals with one or two seeds to a pot less, sown an inch deep. Once your confidence is climbing, try your hand at crunchy cucumber or satisfying squash like ‘Tromboncino’ for the ultimate trellis test.

    • It’s always an idea to plant for purpose. Mint is one of my favourite herbs because it’s so versatile, can been grown in window boxes and will lift lamb dishes a treat. Pre-sown seed mats can be a simple way of getting started—take a look at my Mr Fothergill’s herb collection mats for a blanket of basil, coriander, chives mint and parsley seedlings that sprout within a month.
    • For fruit fanatics, try cherry, pear and peach trees like self-fertile ‘Bonanza’ cultivar, positioned on a sunny patio, for a deck decorated with ripe fruit for the picking. Strawberries are also great for kids because of their bright red colour, juicy texture and sweetness—you can even get planting them in hanging baskets!

    1. Nutritious nuts: Did you know that peanuts, hazelnuts, sweet chestnuts, and walnuts can be grown in the UK? There’s a nut out there for every soil type and you can plant peanuts now—they’ll be ready to harvest in 120 days. Else, go nuts with low-maintenance hazel trees like a sunny spot that’s partially shaded, while almonds can produce crops of nuts when trained against a sunny structure.

    3. Unknown uses: Some parts of plants, which aren’t in the limelight, can be a surprising source of goodness. For instance, the flowers from citrus trees add a unique lemony nuance to stir fries. The star-shaped flowers of borage bring a fantastic herbal flavour to frozen ice cubes, but courgette flowers, bulbs of Lilium brownii and valerian root are all nutritional eats that are worth a try—ones that you can only get if you grow them yourself.

    2. Funky flowers: Grow edible flowers like pansies and calendulas to add to salads, drinks or crystallise them to decorate cakes. Violas bring a mild sweetness and pretty embellishment to any dish, while the bright blooms of Tropaeolum majus (nasturtium) have a peppery flavour much like watercress.

    Tip:

    Growing bags are great for

    tomatoes but can also be used to grow fiery chillies and succulent cucumbers

     as a mini herb garden.

    Yes! Regular feed can help a fruit plant to produce a strong crop and most plants will benefit from a potassium rich fertiliser applied three times in the growing season—once in mid spring, then mid-summer and a final dose in late summer. Follow the instructions on the packet.

    How can I prevent animals falling into my pond?

    Hedgehogs, mice and other small mammals are at risk of falling into ponds, but this can easily be prevented. Simply incorporate a gentle slope such as a plank with grip runs into one side of the pond, or even create a shallow area with pebbles. This will likely attract birds to bathe as well!

    The F Words is how I see a garden as I look at it. If you divide your garden into these three parts, you can take realistic steps towards your dream garden look. Today we’re going to look at the first F – flooring. Stay tuned to find out about fencing and features!

    Chelsea Flower Show 2018 Plants

    Picture the scene. I am at a TV colleague’s house for the first time, supposedly to collect some tapes. But it soon becomes clear that I’m the victim of what we call in the trade a ‘green ambush’.

    I can see it coming when he opens the back door. “Any chance you can have a quick look at my garden while you’re here and give me some advice?” Got me – hook, line and sinker!

    So I find myself standing in this cold, overgrown garden with him. His family are all watching me. Just as I go to open my mouth, he adds, “Oh and we don’t want to spend a fortune”. Bang goes the bulldozer recommendation then!

    But I take a quick look and think of my F Words guide. In moments I am on a roll and they are cooing with inspiration.

    One of the biggest mistakes gardeners make is to confuse garden design as an art form with practical garden renovation. But, and this is really important, you do not need to be a 400-metre Olympic contender to enjoy running.

    There are simple, cheap, easy and achievable ways to create a garden to be proud of. For a small amount of money and a couple of weekends, you can completely make-over your garden.

    Flooring

    By flooring, I mean anything on the ground. This could be your lawn, patio and/or decking.

    Lawn

    blank
    Man cleaning lawn mower blade. Preparing to mow some grass.

    This is a must for households with children and pets, but also for people like me who still believe that a lawn is the essence of a traditional garden.

    Boost

    You can rejuvenate your lawn with a programme of aeration and feeding. Aeration involves getting fresh air down to the roots by making holes in the lawn. This also reduces soil compaction and improves drainage. Aerate once a year by pushing a garden fork deep into moist soil at 6 inch intervals. Follow with a generous sprinkling of lawn feed.

    Replace

    It’s easy to replace your old scrappy grass with a lush new lawn. If you want instant results, buy new turf and have it laid. If you’d like something more affordable, you can prepare and seed a new lawn, but get a consultation from a garden lawn centre expert on your soil type.

    Patio

    [/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hue=”” saturation=”” lightness=”” alpha=”” content_alignment_medium=”” content_alignment_small=”” content_alignment=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” margin_top=”” margin_right=”” margin_bottom=”” margin_left=”” fusion_font_family_text_font=”” fusion_font_variant_text_font=”” font_size=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” text_transform=”none” text_color=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]

    blank

    Don’t start worrying about cost of a new patio – you can revamp your existing one in an afternoon! First, get out any weeds. Then use a patio cleaner to scrub off dirt and algae. For the best results, hire a pressure washer from a DIY centre – you’ll only need it for a day, and it makes it look brand new!

    Make sure you fix any uneven slabs in properly. You can replace broken ones, but for a cheap fix just rip them up and put plants in their place! Alpines and succulents are great for this. Brush a new layer of sand over the patio to fill in the gaps between slabs and stop weeds coming back.

    Decking

    blank

    Journalists and TV interviewers are always begging me to say that decking is old fashioned and on its way out. But I don’t think this is necessarily the case. Wood in the garden adds warmth and style, and it will stay with us for a long time yet.

    If you have a deck, revamping it is easy. A good scrub down and an oil-based treatment will give it new lease of life.

    For those of you who would like decking in the garden, try something a bit different. I always recommend oak – it gives a rich, timeless look.
