Darlac Garden Trowel

Knowing what to plant in March and, of course, what not to plant can have a profound effect on your season ahead. Our March gardening jobs in the UK are all about sowing seeds, raising and protecting seedlings and a growing hope for the season to come. Here are some of the things we can plant in March.

Conscientious gardeners who sow only what they need will often be left wondering what to do with leftover seeds. Seed packets containing vegetable seeds, fruit seeds, and flower seeds often contain far more seeds than are necessary for a single year.

Few things lift everyday cooking quite like fresh herbs. A handful of basil torn over pasta, rosemary crackled onto roast potatoes, or parsley snipped straight into a salad can transform a meal in seconds. Yet many of us share the same frustrating experience: a lush supermarket basil plant that looks perfect on Monday and is completely dead by Friday.
