Garden in March
This phenomenon can cause problems for some plants that begin to grow in the spring sunlight, which then freeze again when the temperature suddenly drops. A good tip is to protect the plants from direct spring sunlight by using hessian fabric or thick non-woven material.
Lawn
Your lawn has probably taken a hit during the winter and may contain some moss, which means it may need some nutrients and care during the spring. The temperature in March is typically too unreliable to start sowing new grass, but you can do the lawn a favour by raking it clean of needles and leaves that have fallen during the winter. This will loosen the lawn and clear away some of the moss that has grown.
Pruning apple and pear trees
In March, it’s time to show your apple and pear trees some love to give them the best conditions to blossom and produce delicious fruit by the summer. By pruning your fruit trees, you give them the chance to grow more vigorously, and as the branches of the tree become sparser, the sun’s rays reach down to the fruits better.
