AdminHe suggested: “clear away any fallen branches, matted down leaves and any leftover debris from winter that you may not have removed.”
The gardening pro suggested that maintaining good hygiene in your beds will help to keep “pests and diseases at bay”.
Keep the vegetables thriving
If you’re lucky enough to be growing your veg in your back garden then you might want to make note as it is a great time for direct sowing.
Dwelly advises choosing vegetables like “beans, peas, carrots, and lettuce for a delicious harvest”.
However, before sowing you might want to read the packet instructions first so that you’re aware of how much space you will need.
If the weather picks up this will mean you can plant summer veg such as “tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and aubergines”.
Fertilising
Thankfully many gardens see the benefit from a boost of nutrients in the spring.
Make sure to choose the right fertiliser for your specific plants and flower beds as this will ensure your plants have the right “nourishment they need to thrive and reach their full potential”.
Watering and weeding control
Weeding is a job that we tend to put off for as long as possible in the garden. No matter how many times we tend to get rid of them they seem to keep coming back.
However, when it comes to “frequent shallow watering” it encourages “shallow root growth”.
But the gardening pro had a suggestion. He recommended to “practise deep watering one to two times a week”, by soaking the soil thoroughly at the base of plants.
Not only does this “promote deeper root development”, by allowing your plants to access water reserves during hot and dry periods.
But it will also keep your garden picture perfect by regularly removing weeds that “compete with your plants for water and nutrients”.
He also advised hand-pulling weeds as it is the “most eco-friendly method, especially for smaller gardens”.
Another suggestion he had is to consider “natural weed control methods like vinegar or boiling water for larger areas”.
