Dear Readers, It’s Mid-February which means Saint Valentine’s day, a feast for lovers. Although we don’t have red roses growing outside at this time of year, it seems even in the 1800’s we were sending confectionery flowers and gifts to each other, I never really understood as a kid but now, I’ll never turn down a lovely meal with my husband. We’ve had a flurry of snow and a few cold days but still the grass looks like it needs cutting already, I’ve had a few clients ask about mulching as bulbs are already up and plants are growing, so what I am saying is you can still dress your beds at this stage if there is growth just a lighter layer of compost or whatever you have to use, but still mulch other beds that can take it. I’m waiting for more plants to become available and I can’t wait to put some fresh faces in the pots and baskets, I love planting something new or just moving plants around the borders, gardening is very therapeutic if you have time to do it, and also if you come home from work to see neat lines in the lawn the beds weeded and edged can be very satisfying even if someone else has done it. I’ve seen my first Daffodils and bought some, spring flowers in the house just gets you impatient for it to be happening quicker outdoors, and I am getting impatient please let’s get going so we can absorb like the plants the sunshine the rain with the warmth on our faces. Bring it on 2018 we are going to soak you up. If you need any garden help, please call for both garden maintenance and more horticultural needs also. Enjoy 😊 Lynn Dupont Mow ‘n’ Blow Garden Services Ltd MNB Horticulture Ltd Letters from the garden
Dear Readers, I am writing this on a very ‘wooly’ day and I don’t think I’ll be gardening in this as I could get blown away!! But I did mange to potter yesterday, potting up some Yew and cutting back some plants that had as yet not been done. Although I went to prune my Erysimum ‘Bowles Mauve and it’s already got rosettes of flowers about to open up, then I spotted an open Flower on the Mallow and loads of buds so it just shows what the weather is doing to us, confusing all the gardeners out there, we even went to prune an Apple tree for a customer and already showing signs of early flowering. But it has been a bit warmer we haven’t had the cold snaps for the longer periods and we are slipping and sliding about which isn’t always great. The pheasants have obviously found a shortcut through our Neighbours garden as they keep appearing on the fence daily, wondering around, the dog is not sure about them, I thought I might get a free meal but she has shown no interest, so the game keeper has no need to worry. Well we are on our second pond of the year so far, this is going to be special the large rocks on site are going to make an outstanding backdrop to the pond and also a marsh garden which I am looking forward to planting. We are also doing the gardening weather permitting there are lots of gardens in need of pruning and mulching and lots of clients asking for plants to be added and planting to do. Myself and Christian are on the annual schedule, hair pulling, Sudoku ritual of trying to fit everyone in efficiently, it’s always interesting to see how we get there in the end, so don’t forget to call if you are needing a Mow, Blow or Horty visit or visits.
