WHAT DID I SOW?
Fertilise
in spring when planting out your annuals. Fertilise perennials before spring growth appears and once frost is unlikely.
Mulch
around young seedlings to keep them warm while the temperatures are still rising.
Plant seedlings
of pansies and violas amongst your edibles for a splash of colour as well as edible flowers
