As the weather begins to warm up, there's plenty to be getting on with in the garden. Monty Don welcomes us to Longmeadow and cracks on with some timely tasks. Gardening and Horticulture how to's: 1. Sow lawn seed April is an excellent time to sow grass seed. Whether you are repairing a patch or creating a new lawn, the technique is the same. Make sure the soil is smooth and even, and sow half the seed over the whole area by working in parallel rows lengthways. Then, repeat the process with the remaining seed, working in parallel rows widthways. Lightly rake to cover the majority of the seeds with soil and, in dry weather, water gently with a fine spray of water. 2. Pinch out sweet peas If you remove the growing tips of sweet pea seedlings, you will encourage them to branch and produce more flowers. Pinch out when they are about 10cm (4in) high or if they are too long and leggy. 3. Cut back dogwood If you grow dogwood and willow for their colourful stems in winte

If there's one flower that's fallen foul of fashion in recent times, it's the once-popular chrysanthemum. Monty Don thinks that they're well worth revisiting and shows us how to get them off to a flying start. And if you're thinking of giving your garden a bit of a spring revamp, Joe Swift has some helpful suggestions to get things going. Moved here : https://video-clump.com/2017/11/26/gardeners-world-episode-3-2015/ Gardening how to's : 1.Prune shrub roses Now that the weather is beginning to warm up, this is your last chance to prune your shrub roses. Remove any damaged or crossing stems and cut back hard any weak shoots. The main framework of the plant should only be trimmed back by a third. The biggest mistake with shrub roses is to overprune. 2. Lift & divide snowdrops As the flowers start to fade, it’s a good time to lift and divide snowdrops. With a trowel or spade, gently lift a clump of bulbs and carefully divide into smaller clumps and s

The Beechgrove Garden ep.7 2016 This post was moved here: https://video-clump.com/2018/02/15/ beechgrove-garden-episode-7-2016 Carole was in the Greenhouse for the final part of her series on windowsill gardening. This time it was all about growing microgreens –full of proteins and vitamins making a healthy addition to snacks and sandwiches, also the latest trend with chefs. Last week Carole recommended getting an electric propagator to get seedsstarted but the alternative is an unheated propagator which could simply sit on the windowsill. Any kind of vegetable seed can be harvested as a microgreen and they too are very easy to grow. These are not like the sprouting seeds,here you wait till they have grown to seedling stage, cut them off with scissors - this is thepart you eat. One example is a radish which can be sown in a tray of compost, covered with more compost and placed in an unheated propagator. This canthen be harvested for its leaves in a few weeks’time
