MARCH - Gardening

This is the month to move any evergreen shrubs now the soil is warming up. They will shortly begin to grow strongly and won't find it so hard to replace lost water, which is why it's not a good idea to move them in winter. It's also a perfect time to divide congested clumps of summer flowering perennials, and Hostas, enabling them to grow with renewed vigour and giving you additional plants for free. Any plants with new growth round the edge of a clump with a dead, dry centre definitely need dividing. Water and mulch generously after.
