Your Daily Treat…

Now is the time to pull on your floral wellies and get busy clearing the garden, ready for the joys of Summer abundance.

There is so much preparation to be undertaken in the early part of Spring, and if the weather is fine a day designed to be spent celebrating the planting of beauty is the ideal day to drag out a little transistor radio, pull on your gardening gloves and get busy cleaning up beds and pots, making good woodwork, fences and trellis, organizing greenhouses, brushing paths and blowing away the debris of Winter, before planting as many early bedding plants as the ground will allow…

Today you can plant straight into the ground: Ageratum, Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Arctotis, Bells, Centaurea, Coreopsis, Brachycome, Calendula, Calliopsis, Canterburybells, Centaurea, Coreopsis, Cynoglossum, Delphinium, Dimorphotheca, Exacum, Gaillardia, Gerberia, Geum, Heliotrope, Iceland Poppy, Lobelia, Marigold, Mimulus, Nemesia, Penstemon, Periwinkle, Petunia, Pinks, Salpiglossis, Salvia, Scabiosa, Stevia, Stocks, Verbena and Xanthisma…
