‘In like a lion, out like a lamb’. March is the month that growth begins and a time for gardeners to think of sowing seeds as soil temperatures are on the rise, but it is always best to wait until you are sure frost has passed, and the soil is dry before you start digging, or it gets compacted, and this is not good.

People like to plant their early potatoes on St. Patrick’s weekend every year, but if conditions don’t suit it is better to leave it for a week or so, as they will soon catch up in finer weather. Conditions are still too wet for planting early potatoes, unless indoors in a tunnel.

If in a tunnel, make drills, and sow varieties such as Sharpes Express or Duke of York. Add in a good helping of farmyard manure or chicken manure, and water in well. Also indoors start your tomato seeds, and salads such as lettuce and rocket, you can also sow beans, peas, cucumbers, peppers. courgettes, pumpkins and chillies.
This is a good time to plant dahlias and lily bulbs. I plant them now in pots in the tunnel, and will plant them out in the ground in April or May when they are growing well.

We had good classes again yesterday Saturday 5th March and a lovely sunny day for it. Sowed a lot of seed in the tunnel which after being transplanted for a few weeks, will be planted outside
Frost at night at the moment, and ground still wet but drying out nicely in these sunny days. Because of the low temperatures at the moment, any tender plants or seeds should be covered with ''horticultural fleece'' This is a finely woven material that gives the plants underneath a 7 degree rise. Early potatoes planted in the tunnel at the moment, are covered with the fleece., to protect them from frost, as these have some leaves peeping.
In the vegetable garden, we covered areas that will be planted later with vegetables with clear plastic. This causes a flush of annual weeds to grow and these can be hoed off before planting.
Peas that are growing well were planted in a pot, and the class learned how to make a Wigwam, to support the peas as they climb.

Great first day of gardening classes learning how to grow edible crops in a tunnel/greenhouse 🌱👩‍🌾 🙂
Just to list a few of the many things covered:

How to sow seed and then practised some sowing trays of lettuce, peas and kale in the tunnel. Garlic cloves and onion sets were planted in pots indoors, as still a bit cold outside.

Peas ready to transplant were planted into large pots and learned how to make a Wigwam for the peas to grow up along

Potatoes and early potatoes that are sprouting were examined. Group were shown the The " no dig" technique.

The best way to grow Rhubarb was shown and everyone got a rhubarb stool and anything done in the class was taken home by group.
