In the blink of an eye, we say goodbye to February and welcome March with longer days and brighter evenings ahead.
Its an exciting month with lots of deliveries arriving and people are ready to start work in the gardens.
With lots of you getting the garden ready over the last month, one of our popular products at the moment is Soil Enricher it’s a natural way to improve soil structure and increase fertility, it improves soil aeration, texture and structure so it’s adding rich organic matter to the soil. It’s on special offer now.
Dahlia bulbs are now in stock and we have some lovely variety to choose from some of my favourites are Bishop of Leicester and mystery day.
There are so many lovely flowers to choose from. Dahlia tubers can be started in pots or sowing directly into the ground. Make sure they have plenty of light and a good multipurpose compost. To feed them us a liquid plant food high in Phosphorus and potassium during the growing season and once they have established to keep the flower period going.
Seed potatoes and onion will be arriving soon, The early potatoes like Sharpes Express, Homeguard and Duke of York will soon be available.
British Queens are called Second early these are planted traditionally in March. The main crop potatoes are Rooster, Records, and Kerr Pinks these are just to name a few they varieties have expanded so much over the year s the choice is amazing. These main crops are traditionally planted in April.
Some people like to get their preferred variety early and have them chitted this just means they start to shoot out. So, if you want to be prepared and make sure to buy your favourite potato while selection is available.
There are lots of colour plans available if you need pots filled. I know confirmations has started and its nice to have pots done upfor the occasion. You’re welcome to bring in pots and we can fill them for you saving you time.
“Welcome March! May this month bring you joy, growth, and new opportunities”
