How to protect your plants from different threats this spring is the topic on this weeks episode of Master My Garden podcast. 

John looks at how to mind all those seedlings you have been minding and growing on your windowsill or greenhouse. At this stage your seedlings are really looking for more space and looking to get into the ground, but the weather and the different weather threats such as frost, hail, heavy showers and wind can all badly damage and even kill your precious little seedlings. So what can we do to ensure we can make sure they reach their full potential over the coming months. 

 

So here is what we can do to protect our seedlings:

 

·      Bring them outside during any mild days to toughen them up.

·      Feed them with seaweed fertiliser this will help them to harden up and will toughen the cells of the leaves and stems. 

·      Use frost fleece and after a nights frost do not remove the following morning until almost noon.

·      Earth up potatoes as they start to peep out of the ground

·      Use bio netting/ environmesh this will protect from hail, heavy showers and wind but allows water and air through so it’s a healthy environment inside for plants. 

So that’s the main points and while a little boring for a podcat episode it is vital information so we can get the best results from out last few months sowing. 

 There will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website. This blog and previous blogs along with all podcast episodes are be available on my
