GARDENING
Gardening Jobs For April • It is the start of the hoe, hoe, hoe season so keep that hoe moving and get rid of those weeds. Don’t let any weed see a Sunday. • Weather permitting, things should be at full speed now and hopefully we will not have a repeat of last year’s continuous frost problems. • Put up supports around taller perennials now before they grow too large and keep a look out for slugs and snails damaging emerging shoots. • Feed shrubs and roses with a good general fertiliser, one handful per plant and hoe in well. • Seeds sown indoors should be growing away nicely and more can be sown now. Your seedlings and plants need to be kept watered and looked after. Personally, I have hundreds of seedlings and plants in my care all under cover at this time. One trick I use is to gently go over them all with a small piece of fleece and gently rubbing each one backwards and forth. I use this method as a form of hardening the plants as well as giving me an indication of any pests on them. I do this daily. You can also put your plants outside on a fine day but bring them in at night.
• Continue planting up summer bulbs and add a handful of sharp sand or horticultural grit for drainage purposes. Plant up all your hanging baskets and other containers but they will still need protection of being inside. • Deadhead spring flowering bulbs weekly and use a foliar feed on the foliage until it starts to die back. • Potatoes can be planted and remember they are a hungry crop. If late frosts are forecast cover up the emerging haulms with soil or fleece. • Towards the end of the month runner beans and French beans can be sown indoors they will need protection even in mid- May. The French beans are a little hardier and will crop a couple of weeks earlier as well. • Many seeds can be sown now but always read the seed packet and remember this is only a guide. Don’t forget not to sow too much of one crop at a time if you wait another three weeks and repeat sow you will not have a glut and then nothing after. Crops that work well with this are lettuce, beetroot spring onion and radish. Kindly provided by Burnham on Sea & District Horticultural Society

Like your current PC but know you need new hardware? – Consider cloning Perhaps, like a great many others, you are unable to perform the upgrade to Windows 11 due to the age of your hardware? When it comes to replacing a computer, sometimes budget is not the reason for hesitance, but instead concerns over what might go wrong, and all the headaches and confusions involved with starting fresh. It’s one thing to transfer documents and pictures from an old computer over to a new one, but there’s more to a computer than data alone. What about your customisation, website favourites, stored passwords, installed programs, and all the rest that makes your computer “feel” like your computer? Often, through traditional means, these are lost. Fortunately, this “starting from scratch” scenario can be avoided, all while fully upgrading your hardware. How is this possible? The answer is computer cloning. With the use of professional tools, we can perform a procedure which clones all the data, including Windows itself, from an old computer over to a new one. This means we can set up brand new computers to replace older units, all-the-while retaining what matters the most – the user experience. The power button might be in a different place, but the rest is largely unchanged, except faster and healthier. No confusion, no losses, you can feel comfortable using it right away. In scenarios where the old hardware was not eligible for Windows 11, this then enables the option to upgrade. We at CPS are fond of this approach and can advise on the process and related costs for equipment and software licences. If this is of interest to you, please see our advert on this page or call me on 07973 536299 to discuss.

Secret World Wildlife Rescue looks forward to seeing you in 2022 Thanks to all our incredible supporters who have helped us keep our doors open for wildlife during the pandemic. Though we have not been able to run any public events since 2019, being classed as an essential service meant we could keep helping wildlife with your support. We have missed you all, and we are pleased to announce that we have lots of ways to get involved in 2022. Public events – our popular open weekends are running in April (see below) and the August bank holiday weekend. Our centre is closed to the public the rest of the year, so these are a great opportunity to meet the team and learn more about our work. We will also be presenting talks by our patrons and our annual Auction and Ball in October. Learning visits – we will soon be open again for visits from schools and community groups. These prearranged sessions teach children about the natural world and how they can help wildlife. Volunteering – there are lots of opportunities to help out and meet new people. Roles include maintenance, gardening, animal care, and charity shop work. Donations – your support gives sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals a second chance at life. Whether it’s a cash donation, items to sell in our charity shop, or food and blankets for the animals in our care, we could not help wildlife without your help. See our website www.secretworld.org for more information about all of this and more.

Your 7 day Countdown To A Fun Easter #7 Tidy up! Before you do anything else, you need a tidy home and clean kitchen. Put things away, arecycle old newspapers and plump the cushions. To ensure a wonderful result with your cooking, your kitchen and its appliances need to be spotless. The last thing you want is your wonderful Easter Roast to taste of the last few weeks dinners. Get that cooker clean: either do it yourself or call OvenGleamers, a professional oven cleaning service to gleam it for you. #6 Choose the menu. Will you have fish, lamb or a nut roast? Fish is traditionally eaten on Good Friday. Early Christians said that the day of Jesus’ crucifixion should be one of abstaining from meat, so they had fish instead. #5 Invite your family and friends to join in. Easter is a great time for families and friends so plan something fun. Did you know where we got the Easter Bunny from? Experts say the 18th century when some Germans settled in America. They called him Osterhase because he lay brightly coloured eggs in nests in the bonnets of children. # 4 Get shopping. Prepare that list and pop down the supermarket or even easier shop online and get it all delivered. # 3 Plan the weekend’s activities. Set up an Easter Egg hunt in the house or the garden. Children love finding eggs anywhere! #2 Get the cooking prepared. Now you’ve a lovely clean kitchen, get baking. Have you got some oven liners to help you? Great for lining roasting tins, baking biscuits on or to catch drips. OvenGleamers can supply these too. #1 Hurrah you’re there. Food planned, friends and family on their way and fun events sorted. But if all else fails – try the National Trust for Easter Trails, buy the ready prepared dishes from your favourite supermarket and watch ‘Easter Parade’ on the TV to put you in the mood. Happy Easter. For that gleaming cooker, AGA or Range, just call me today: Graeme Robertson, OvenGleamers now on 01278 497541.

The talk will include 3D and fly-through reconstructions of these gardens and will be held at the 37 Club at 2:00pm for a 2:15pm start. Visitors welcome at a charge of £8 per lecture. Visit www.theartssocietysedgemoor. org.uk for more information.
Come and join us at The Community Centre in Burnham from 10:00am till 2:00pm. There are plenty of stalls to ‘whet your appetite’ including Craft Stalls, quality Bric-a-Brac, a ‘secret surprise’ tombola, mammoth jigsaw sale, books and toys. The Lions will be running their ‘cuddly lions’ tombola, the Friends of the Community Centre will be selling refreshments and the ‘Information Bureau’ will also have a stall so come along and support four local charities under one roof. If you have any unwanted gifts or bottles, then contact the Chairman Ceri Joyce on 01278 323794 or email ceri160443@sky.com

Thursday 14th April - Easter Celebration - Brean Good Neighbours
We are planning to restart our meetings in the King Alfred School Lecture Theatre commencing at 7:00pm. The first half of this meeting will be a Q&A session as it has been a while since our last AGM. The conditions for hire of this hall are more restrictive and we now have to use the car parks and not drive past the green security fencing. We have delayed this restart date as the hall seating arrangements do not make social distance seating possible. So hopefully Covid restrictions will be gone by then. If not, we will notify you of our decision to cancel this meeting. We are planning to make the Queen’s Jubilee the topic for our June meeting.
