Spring is Just Around the Corner

It's great - the snowdrops are well and truly out and the daffodils are up with buds showing so it's official - SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! We are looking forward to it, of course. The promise of a new Spring is the most wonderful time in the garden. The buds are beginning to swell already and it's all very exciting. The Nursery is looking well and we have had a delivery of new roses, all with leaf buds beginning to show! We have also got a good range of vegetable seeds and, for the first time ever, we have got seed potatoes in stock now. So many people are having a go at growing their own vegetables and it can be very rewarding. You don't have to have a huge garden or an allotment to grow veg. Many different types of vegetables can be grown in amongst other plants in the borders and you can grow fantastic potatoes in big pots on the patio. If you've never grown your own food before make this year the year you have a go. You will be delighted at the feeling of satisfaction that comes from producing your own food and you will love the fresh flavours!!
