Trimming

It’s hard to believe that November and the subsequent winter is galloping up on us! But it’s not time yet for those fireside slippers! Although October was busy, there is still plenty to do - unless you have already stored all the remaining fruit and vegetables and prepared your garden for those winter months.

Autumn is with us and let’s hope the good weather continues, to raise our spirits and shorten the winter!

February is with us, bringing hopes of an early spring to brighten what has been a difficult winter! Strange though, how through the last couple of years, our gardens have proved to be our inspiration and salvation. 

One of the great things about keeping a diary is that you can learn from it and this is especially true with a gardening diary. Varieties, sowing/planting dates, soil and weather conditions, pest and disease control, temperatures and rainfall, all can provide useful information to plan your gardening year for 2022.

May is with us, the day length is increasing and hopefully, the late spring will set us up for a great summer in the garden. It’s a busy time, so without more ado, let's have a look at our gardening tasks for May.
