What to do this week; GARDENING


* Replace or replenish mulches around the base of trees, shrubs and climbers. * Apply a general fertiliser to roses after pruning.


Protect the blossom of peach, nectarine or fruiting cherry trees with fleece. * Clean up and treat any wooden garden furniture on a fine day.Propagate shrubs such as forsythia, mock orange and hydrangea by layering them.Watch out for slugs on succulent new growth and pick them off.-- Remove lamb roast from oven and let rest for 20 minutes before serving. This allows the meat's juices to settle and make carving easier. (As the meat rests, the internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees.)Tips for Roasting American LambFresh Mint and Garlic Marinated Grilled American Lamb Loin Chops with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Green BeansVisit American Lamb to order a free " Spring Celebrations American Lamb " cook booklet, and to find more recipes .Taco Bell’s Pacific Shrimp Taco and Burrito will be promoted through an integrated campaign that includes TV and radio advertising, in-store promotions, Web site and social media activity, as well as public relations.
