mistakes that you can make in spring.

Welcome to Gardening with Ben. And
0:03
today's tips are going to be the biggest
0:05
mistakes you can make in spring. And the
0:08
main one being planting too early. I see
0:10
so many people planting too early. So
0:13
many. And sewing all the seeds too
0:15
early. Like now is perfect weather. It's
0:17
perfect time to be planting. We're
0:19
getting a lot of sunlight and we're
0:21
getting warmth and it's starting to warm
0:23
up now. So it's pretty good for growing
0:26
seeds now. But yeah, I see so many on
0:28
window sills and on dining tables that
0:31
don't get enough sunlight and then
0:32
people posting pictures of all the seeds
0:35
what have um gone leggy and yeah um I
0:41
don't comment on them because it's not
0:42
fair cuz it's uh they're happy with what
0:44
they've grown. But don't plant stuff too
0:47
early. Wait for it to warm up and wait
0:50
for the nicer weather before sewing all
0:52
those seeds and use the sunlight
1:01
forgetting to plant protect young
1:04
plants. So, that's another one is that
1:06
I'm up north. It still gets cold. It
1:09
still gets frost. We had a frost this
1:10
morning. And yeah, make sure you protect
1:13
stuff with fleece and don't plant
1:16
anything outside till the chance of
1:17
frost is gone. The only things that you
1:19
can plant out are like your potatoes,
1:21
your onions, early peas, your winter
1:25
hardy broad beans, but don't plant
1:26
anything outside and until the chance of
1:29
frost has passed. And I won't be
1:31
planting out till May time. And they
1:34
usually say don't cast a clout until May
1:37
is out, but sometimes I do sneak things
1:39
in a bit earlier in May, uh, depending
1:42
how the weather forecast is looking. So
1:45
yeah, make sure you check the weather
1:47
and make sure you plan accordingly to
1:54
Ignoring weather changes and again that
1:57
goes off the same thing is that make
1:59
sure you check the weather. Make sure
2:01
you plan accordingly and don't plan out
2:04
too early as frost could come. We might
2:07
even get snow. You never know. And yeah,
2:10
it's still a wet and wet time of the
2:12
year. So you don't want things to get
2:14
water logged and get damaged via the
2:17
water. So check the weather and follow
2:19
the weather before planting out. So
2:22
those are like the tips what I like to
2:23
give out when planting stuff out and
2:26
just take things steady in the first few
2:28
months March and April and then
2:30
obviously when it gets to May time then
2:33
you can get excited and then you can
2:34
start planting everything out and then
2:36
you're having to keep water everything
2:37
and keeping on top of the watering. But
2:39
it's an exciting time of the year and is
2:42
springtime. Everyone gets excited about
2:44
sewing all the seeds and getting started
2:46
and getting growing for the year ahead.
2:48
It's an exciting time for all those
2:52
So those are the tips of the day. So
2:55
make sure you drop us a follow to stay
2:57
up to date with all our tips and advice.
2:59
Until next time everyone, remember, keep
