-Thank you for joining us.

-It's the start of May

-and the year is flying by.

-Now is the perfect time to sow seeds

-and transfer shrubs.

-Here's our gardening expert,

-Ieuan, to share his advice.

-One of today's tasks

-is to sow parsnip seeds.

-Use fresh seeds every year.

-Parsnip seeds are different

-to other vegetables seeds.

-They lose preservation after a year.

-The package states that you should

-sow them between February and May.

-But February and March

-are too early to sow outside.

-The soil is too cold.

-Most of the seeds will rot, leave

-gaps and will be a waste of time.

-Wait until late April

-or early May before sowing.

-Soil temperatures

-will have warmed to 10C to 12C.

-Create a half-an-inch deep furrow.

-Sow three or four seeds in a cluster

-every eight inches along the furrow.

-Once they've bud, prune the small

-plants and leave their strongest.

-If the seeds grow slowly

-or the weather is too cold...

-..start to growing process

-before sowing them.

-Sprinkle the seeds on damp tissue

-and cover with another damp piece.

-Place a clear cover over the top and

-store in temperatures of 15C to 20C.

-A week to ten days later,

-the seeds will form white roots.

-You can sow these outside

-in the usual manner.

-The autumn is the ideal time to move

-small shrubs or plant them from new.

-You can do this in early spring

-before any new growth.

-But there are always other tasks to

-do, or the weather is unfavourable.

-Now I'm transferring these ceanothus

-shrub cuttings from two years ago.

-It produces clusters of blue flowers

-during the spring and summer.

-It should be fine to transfer

-as late as this in spring...

-..as long as you take

-the appropriate steps.

-Soak the soil well a day

-before moving the plant.

-Dig deep around the shrub like this.

-Roots will break in the process,

-but it won't cause any harm.

-I've opened a hole that's twice

-the size of the original hole.

-The soil is like clay which helps

-with drainage and promotes growth.

-I'll add more grit to the soil

-I've dug out and some bone meal.

-Return the shrub to the hole and

-position at an appropriate level.

-Fill the hole with more soil.

-Create a trench

-around the shrub for drainage.

-Finish with some more soil

-for a level and neat surface.

-The plant won't know it's moved!

-Mari has been busy planting.

-What have you got for us

-on tonight's Heno?

-Join us for tonight's Heno

-at 7.00pm.

-Llyr Gwyn Lewis

-will be my studio guest.

-He's an author and poet.

-He's going to publish a book

-of short stories.

-He's also going to be travelling

-to Barcelona soon.

-We're going to be

-at Ysgol Brynrefail.

-They've won a competition.

-Alun meets a crew of talented pupils

-from Ysgol Bro Morgannwg.

-They've won a national

-English public speaking competition.

-You can also enter

-our photography competition.

-After the break, it's Baby Day

-and we'll be chatting...

-..to young mother, Sarah Louise

-about her experiences.

-Lowri also shows us how to create

-an effective home office.

-Join us in a few minutes.
