Timing is everything when planting your beds

Fiann Ó Nualláin says the garden waits for no man and now is the time to get your beds ready to set.

We are a bit away from the TV commercials for barbecues and sun loungers and those glossy magazines prompting garden makeovers; raised beds groaning with edible abundance and glorious summer evening tapas with wine on the patio.

It’s bleedin’ freeeezen out — as we say in my part of town. But if that is some of the good life you want, come the season, then some of the work starts now.
