MID SPRING IN THE GARDEN - PERENNIALS

  • REMOVE DEAD HEADS REGULARLY FROM BULBS THAT HAVE FINISHED FLOWERING

  • DIVIDE AND PLANT PERENNIALS

  • STAKE AND SUPPORT LARGE PERENNIALS SUCH AS DELPHINIUMS

  • PRICK OUT POT SOWN SEEDLINGS AND POT UP THOSE LARGE ENOUGH TO HANDLE BY THEIR LEAVES NOT STEMS

  • SOW HARDY PERENNIALS OUTSIDE, SOW TENDER ANNUALS UNDER PROTECTION.

  • REMEMBER TO REGULARLY LIQUID FEED PLANTS IN CONTAINERS

  • PRUNE ANY SHRUBS THAT HAVE FINISHED FLOWERING

  • AS CLIMBERS AND WALL TRAINED PLANTS GROW TIE THEM TO THEIR SUPPORTS REGULARLY.
