Primroses
March

With Signs of Spring starting to show the garden is beginning to come alive, with shoots appearing, more sunlight and more settled weather things will really get growing this month… including the weeds. Catching plants/weeds growing where you don’t want them while they are still young is much easier to deal with than once they are fully established. Also watch out for pests, they will start to show an interest in your greenhouse – we stock a range of biological controls to protect from slug, snail and aphid damage.
