Top tips to help bed in all your bedding

Dig out small planting holes with a trowel. Ensure you leave space between each for potential plant growth.

Firm in the soil around the roots with your fingertips to leave a small depression on the surface so that any subsequent watering will remain just above the plant roots without running away.

The nutrients absorbed in the first week will help the plant send out new roots to ensure it gets established quickly.

Beware of late frosts until about June 8.
