March is a busy time on the allotment, as you need to prepare soil, sow seeds and plant out a huge variety of edible crops. Key jobs include weeding, sowing seeds and planting out. Only plant out when temperatures are above freezing, ensuring plants are hardy and have been hardened off (acclimatised to outside conditions) before planting. Pre-warming the soil with cloches or clear plastic sheeting can enable you to plant certain crops – such as broad beans – out sooner. For more ideas, read our comprehensive guide about what to plant in March.
