March

Bare root is nearly
over for the year.

Hedging, fruit trees and roses go back in the ground at the end of the month and you will be waiting until November. Everything bare root is a third off until the 28th.

The tunnels are full of herbaceous coming into growth, and the first of the tomato plants are ready the week after next.

What is ready now
