Laylocks

Feed spring flowering bulbs (when they have finished flowering) for a better display next year. Remember to protect delicate plants and shrub and perennial cuttings from frost, which is still possible up until the end of May. Hardy annuals can be sown outdoors where they are to grow For earlier crops sow vegetables under cloches or fleece for protection. French beans can be sown under glass, in pots. Peas can be sown at regular intervals to prolong the picking season. Remember to protect any vulnerable plants with a single or double layer of fleece.
