THINGS TO DO IN MARCH

COOL & TEMPERATE

VEGIES

• Take advantage of the ongoing daytime warmth to prepare for winter and spring harvests by sowing cabbage, broad beans, Asian greens, lettuce, rocket, carrots, silverbeet, spring onions and spinach.

• Other edibles to try now include tatsoi, rocket, broccoli and leeks. Also, add some autumn colour with pollinator magnets like edible cornflowers, calendula, dianthus, pansies, violas, snapdragons, nasturtiums, verbena and marigolds. They should turn your plot into an eye-pleasing hive of industry.

• If it’s still warm enough, consider starting some herbs such as parsley, coriander, rosemary, marjoram and thyme.
