IT'S OFFICIAL - IT'S SPRING!!

Hello - well the clocks have gone forward - we are past March 21st - by every method -old country folklore or official - it is now SPRING!!

After the long cold winter - we are all perhaps looking forward to spring more this year than any other. The DAFFODILS on the verge outside the nursery are superb again - as the photo shows. Yes, of course everybody seems to have them - but what else gives such a bold early show and is so weather resistant??

With the rising temperatures - and the odd shower - the ground is superb for work in the garden at the moment. An excellent time to get those plants in the ground before it gets too dry for them to establish properly.

Here at the nursery, we remain extremely busy - and on all fronts - the last few pieces of HEDGING - the last of the BARE-ROOT SOFT FRUIT PLANTS -not to mention the many wonderful ornamental blossom trees and shrubs that are now starting to enter the scene.

We are all working hard at the nursery - trying to get the sales area restocked as fast as we can - but we are out of stock of many items now - so don't leave it much longer if you want that special plant from our catalogues - we may no longer have it available!

This is a fabulous time of year - yes - of course there will be cold spells and bad days - but the calendar is firmly heading away from winter - and no cold spell will last long any more. The extra hour of daylight gives us all the opportunity to get out in our gardens after work - and push on with those final tasks before another growing season really sets in!

Get out in your garden and ENJOY IT - I CERTAINLY INTEND TOO!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME,
RICHARD
