March Calendar 2015

It’s always good to move out of winter into March and the beginning of spring. The first flowers are appearing in the garden and the first seeds sowed.

Sowed this month into modules in the shed

• Tomato (Marmande, Sweet 100, Moneymaker)
• Broad beans (The Sutton)
• Peas (Provence)
• Sweet Peas

Directly into the ground

• Radish

And we also have potatoes chitting (Belle de Fontenay, Sarpo Mira), these will be planted out in the second week of April.
