Now that the cold snap behind us and spring is on its way (we hope!), its time to start looking ahead to the growing season.
March is the month to make a start on sowing seeds, if it is mild enough where you are you can get to work sowing certain veg directly into the soil including carrots, radish, broad beans, parsnip, beetroot, peas, leeks and many more.
Remember that the soil in a raised bed warms up much quicker than open ground, making them ideal for early sowing.
For the seeds such as tomato, basil, peppers and lettuce that need a little more warmth than a raised bed can offer sow in pots either in a greenhouse or sunny windowsill.
