Spring Time Gardening Options

[flyingfox]

Hey everyone who loves gardening as i do :D

This is the time of year to sow garden bedding plants and vegetables like tomatoes and vegetables seeds.

What you need is

Warm ( not heated unless you buy the expensive greenhouses)
Rooting Compost or nomal compost will do
Seeds - Bedding plants , Border Plants, vegetable seeds.

Tray for the compost and half fill it with compost. Then sprinkle the selected seeds evenly around the tray and cover with more compost and water very gently.

Cover with glass and paper for about 4 days checking the compost is moist but not wet.

Afterwards you may see seedlings about to grow, take off the glass and paper and let them grow for a while.

Then when they have grown their fist 2 leaves and are big enough, prick them out with a pencil and holding genlty only the leaf of the seedling and transfer it into another container.

Then in the summer you can plant it in the garden bed and watch it happily flower, this must be done when there is no more threat of frost

Hey dont give up Jumbo

I have had many failures on this ranging from slug/snail attacks on the seedlings, failure to set seed, weather and many other things but i have never given up as its a good easy challenge 8)

They say, a setback can be a good learning experience, learn from your mistakes and make the correct adjustments, go for it :D

Now the Daffodils and Crocuses and spring bulb plants are starting to appear, now is the time to carefully dig around them with a hand garden fork and clear weeds and make the plants stand out for an awesome spring presentation 8)

I have just done that now and it looks impressive, i will gives pics later on.
