As we bid adieu to the frosty winter, March arrives with a burst of color and a tantalising promise of warmer days. It’s the perfect time to dust off those gardening gloves and let your inner green thumb run wild (if you haven’t already).
A Glossy Start to March

Although snowdrops are all but over, hellebores are still making a big statement in the garden and it could be easy to overlook other signs of early spring. I haven’t made a point of featuring hellebores in a post this season, not yet anyhow, but thought I would begin my post that links with Jim’s Six on Saturday meme at Garden Ruminations with H ‘Glenda’s Gloss’, to show off her intriguing blooms – you don’t need to be able to look Glenda in the face to see how beautiful she is.
I was taken aback when taking photographs for my EOMV post to see wood anemones coming into bloom, albeit on the fringe of the woodland, although checking back on previous years they seem to flower any time from early March until the end of April; they flowered poorly last year, so let’s hope for a better season.
Snakes head fritillaries, Fritillaria meliagris, have been pushing up in recent weeks with many now in bud and, like the wood anemones, it’s easy to forget how quickly they follow on from snowdrops:
One plant rarely out of flower is Arabis ferdinandi-coburgi ‘All Gold’ which, once established, forms a useful spreading carpet to soften the edges of raised borders. Sadly it sometimes loses its variegation, but I can forgive this failing because of its never-ending pretty white blooms:
After double-figure temperatures in January, February has been a little cooler, but this hasn’t stopped tulip foliage pushing up in various containers, although flowering will still be a few weeks off. Here, they are partnered with wallflower ‘Sugar Rush Purple’:
Most of the tulips are in containers visible from the kitchen windows, a vantage point that also allows me to watch the progress of re-leafing many of the trees, starting with the elderly apples and

How to start a kitchen garden: what to do in March | House & Garden
This is a purposeful moment in the vegetable garden. Spring is in the air and I’m gearing up for the busiest time of year. You can start sowing hardy crops such as broad beans, chard, beetroot, lettuce and carrots. But the weather and soil can still be cold in March, so only sow seeds outdoors if you are feeling confident it is warm enough. Alternatively – and, I think, preferably – you can start sowing these crops under cover, either germinating them indoors and growing them on in a cold frame, or in a greenhouse. Sowing seeds in trays and modules gives you more control, as you can plant them out as seedlings rather than taking the risk of leaving them to germinate in the ground. A compromise is to sow seeds in raised troughs, where the soil will be warmer and you can cover them with cloches or panes of glass to protect them further. However, onion sets and garlic can be planted straight out in the garden now.
