Let's Grow! Spring special
Now is the time to give gardens a burst of love
Wishing you a very happy long weekend filled with flowers and chocolate! To help inspire you, I thought I’d send a roundup email of useful articles filled with spring gardening ideas.
I know I’m often saying you don’t have to do all the garden tasks thrown at us but I’ll level with you, this is the weekend where we do have give a burst of energy to sow seeds, divide plants and make plant moves.
Ground is still wet, rain will still come and summer’s dry is long enough away for plants to get established if we act now.
I’m going to set you three simple challenges for this weekend:
Find a plant to divide and spread around you garden for free
Look for seedlings of a plant and move those seedlings around
Pause with a cup of tea and try to spot different insects
Nothing onerous but good for our hearts and minds.
Sadly away visiting family this weekend but before we left I spotted that some of the cuckoo flower/lady’s smock, I propagated following your instructions last year, are flowering. So delighted. On the positive side of visiting family we’re off to see my mum. She has a gorgeous garden and loves giving away plants so I’ll come home with lots of random cuttings to try and find space for. Free plants are the best!
