In the Garden - March's Essential Tasks

Like many of you, following the prolonged wet and variable weather we've been having, we're now playing catch-up with our gardening tasks.
Normally, by the end of February, we would have the ground prepared and ready for planting in March. But with the ground so sodden, weeding, clearing and digging over become a monumental task.  So, it had to wait.

As a child, I was once told by a very kind, elderly and knowledgeable gardener that,
 "If mud sticks t' tha boots, lass, 'tis too wet t'work soil."
How very true!

Thankfully, there was a long enough break in the wet weather and we managed to get most of the clearing done at the beginning of March and are now ready to proceed with the following tasks:

1. Plant onions in prepared soil.
2. Cover any strawberries with a cloche.
3. Divide and replant herbs. (mint, chives, lovage and marjoram etc.)
4. Plant asparagus.
5. If the weather turns warmer this month, it would be a good to sow broad beans, early peas, carrots, lettuces and other salad leaves, plus leeks and chard.
6. We will also be planting a large area of wildflowers to attract butterflies and bees to our garden.
