Bulbs should feel firm to the touch and should be free from mould.<br \/>\nPlant herbaceous perennials such as Geranium, Anemones, Aquilegia and Hellebores.  Spring is an ideal time to plant perennials and also to consider what might complement your existing borders.<br \/>\nSow summer bedding plants under glass or in a heated propagator.  If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a greenhouse order plug bedding plants and Jersey will do the hard work for you.<br \/>\nProtect plants from frost  If frost is forecast, use fleece to protect the new leaves.<br \/>\nPlant onions and potatoes\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hortoris\/6085268351\/\" title=\"Petunia by brianpettinger, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.staticflickr.com\/6083\/6085268351_1cfc4c6149.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Petunia\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>August Jobs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sow hardy annuals directly into your borders towards the end of  August.
