Now is the Time

Well, we all know its been cold and inhospitable out there this winter, but the soil has now thawed out. Any clearing that was not completed before the snow can be done now and dont forget the all important compost covering. Thompsons in Crews Hill do a marvellous compost and deliver into North London for a very reasonable price.

In between digging and spreading take a coffee break ( or two!) and survey your surroundings. In the bleakness of a February day, eyesores of poor design, tend to jump out and hit you, much more than in summer when pretty flowers distract. There is plenty of time between now and late April to rectify.

Planting too needs to be sorted now for delivery in April. I expect that you all have lost a few choice plants over the winter, but that's no reason to feel sad. Indeed look at it as a way to improve and add a few new plants that maybe youve never had or even seen before. This is not about annuals but about perennials that will come up every year - and there are plenty that will, despite snow, flooding and drought!!
