After light rain today, the weather is set to improve, remaining pretty dry for the rest of the week. The dry days early last week certainly helped, I even managed to get some work done in the garden. The long range forecasts are for more settled weather. My strategy going forward is to take advantage of dry spells as and when they arise, planning is proving to be too frustrating.
March starts today. We can now look forward to the official start of spring (it is less than 3 weeks until the spring equinox) as well as the clocks changing at the end of the month. The days are getting longer!
This is always an interesting month for the gardener. Before the deciduous trees come into leaf you have a chance to see the architecture of the garden. This is a good time to consider any changes you may want to make, even if it is as simple as letting hedges grow taller or shorter. Changing light levels will have a dramatic effect on the plants in the garden.
