An exciting month ahead for vegetable growing.
Sow under cover includes tomatoes, celery, celeriac from 10th, melon watermelon loofah and early leeks in March's last week. Find more monthly details here [ Ссылка ]

Sow carrots outside from equinox, also Jerusalem artichoke, onion sets. For early potatoes - know your last frost date, plant first earlies probably late March.

Transplant, there are so many possibilities, I show at what stage and how deep
Harden off? No worries! Use a cover
Covers for new plantings, fleece for warmth, thicker grade
Hoops for covers? eg wire, check for wind damage
PESTS Cover vs flea beetle and tidy to reduce slug habitat
Keep beds ready - weeding, raking, tidy plastic, clear cover crops if in the way
Prepare new beds eg with plastic on compost
