Is this Spring? the sun is out, its warmer - just slightly, tomorrow perhaps it will feel a bit more like Spring. The next couple of days look to be nice, temperatures about 18 - 25 depending upon where you are.

Spring is the best time of the year in the garden, when the most things are happening, new growth appearing, plants loosing the brown and becoming green again, everything growing, you may think weeds are growing quicker than anything else so get on top of these whilst the ground is moist.

 Spring is the best time to walk through our greenhouses, August & September is when you will find the biggest selection of plants, Pansy, Marigold, Petunia, Impatiens, Stock, Ranunculus, Viola, English Daisy, Begonia, Cabbage, Tomato, Lettuce, Beans, Pumpkin, Kale,  just to name a few - a bit from every season! and you can plant all these in your garden now!

Remember. Anything that fruits or is harvested in the summer protect from frost! Cover summer crops by 5pm, remove cover by 9am.
