Diary week thirteen
Week thirteen Mar 25th - April 1stSeed sowing in the open is in full swing. Vegetables, salads and hardy annuals are all competing for attention. Sow some more cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower as you can't have enough different varieties of Brassicas sown at different times of the year to provide a succession of crops. April is a good time to plant out conifers, rhododendrons and a wide variety of shrubs. Dalia tubers that have been protected from frost over winter can be planted out in the open if completely covered several inches below ground. The depth depends on your soil type, light sandy soils will present no resistance to a depth of five inches or more in a warm border. If your soil is wet heavy clay it would be worth mixing peat or grit or best of all, well rotted garden compost to the planting hole.
