It has finally stopped raining for us gardeners!

So we have managed to get the first grass cut of the year for our gardens today!

TIPS:
Set your mower on a high setting (3 or 4) and a slower speed
Don't pick up the cuttings as these are great left to let the nutrients go back into your lawn
Give it a bit of an Aerate with a garden fork if you dont have an aerator. This will help with air and drainage and encourage the grass to grow

If you need help to keep on top of your lawn this year we would recommend you book your gardening slot NOW! We have a few slots for mowing throughout the summer season if anyone local to earls colne needs help.

Another job is to dig up and split snowdrops while they are still green as so much easier to see them! Although they dont mind being moved around any time of the year as they are tough little bulbs!

Happy gardening!

Hard work today .... don't need the gym with moving this lot! It doesn't look it but each of these branches were bigger than me!

Now is a great time to get organised in the garden before spring. These willows needed heavy pruning as they had got so big and best to do while dormant!

Trim hedges before the birds start nesting too!

So many flowers in the gardens.... and even more exciting things to come with the bulbs popping through!

Leaves are falling early again this year!

This is because of the dry hot weather and lack of rain. They need to preserve water to stay alive!

It's been so dry that the grass hasn't been growing much so we haven't been mowing much. But the grass will be fine! Now is a good time after the rain to give it a cut to tidy up and chop the random weeds off before they seed! Giving the lawn a chop will also encourage it to start growing again!

Lawn mowing season has started!

My favourite type of lawns are the ones with flowers! I especially love Daisies as they remind me of such happy memories of my childhood!

I love how they open with the sunshine 🌞

Now is also the perfect time to dig up some of the snowdrops while they are still green and redistribute them to other areas for next year!

We still have some regular mowing slots if anyone needs just send us a message!
