Edible garden in the making

Spring has finally arrived (sort of), and I have been busy sowing this year's crop of interesting perennial vegetables. Lots of leafy greens this year, including some interesting kale varieties, some Aztec and Chinese broccoli, and callaloo. In between showers and cold snaps, I am getting the garden prepared, and devising my planting plan. 

Most of my seedlings are 2-3 inches high - at last count there were approximately 350, with many more seeds yet to germinate. I love watching things grow!

The perfect time to design your garden is now!

This glorious weather is no doubt keeping people out in their gardens well into the autumn, but as your garden starts winding down for the winter, why not think about how amazing your garden could be next year, with a little help from a designer!

Now is the perfect time to start thinking about what you would like to do in your garden, and what you could achieve by next spring. Getting the ugly work out of the way when the garden is dormant, is by far the best choice. You can also think about how to make your garden more winter-friendly, by adding winter interest plants in time for a fabulous show next December.

Talk to a designer, call or drop in an email, and you may be surprised how much you can achieve by next spring.
