Spring is here
Life is returning to our gardens. ​
​
March and early April are a great time to prepare gardens for the spring and summer.
​
Now is the time to plant
-
Summer flowering bulbs, ideal for a cutting bed.
-
Seed potatoes for a bumper crop of spuds
-
Rhododendrons and Azalea for a mass of spring blooms
-
Alpines to bring something special to pots and dryer corners of the garden
-
Fruits trees and bushes for a crop this year.
​
We can till get frosts in the pennine parts of Huddersfield well into early April, so if planting more tender plants such as bedding keep an eye on weather forecasts and if a sharp frost is expected remember to protect them.
​
Birds are returning and nesting ready for the spring breeding season, so now is an important time to feed them.

CONTAINERS ADD INTEREST TO THE GARDEN
Containers are a great way of show casing a plant, growing a shrub where there is no soil and of allowing you to move your plants around so those that are in flower are most prominent.
​
​
Plants grown in containers need less weeding and routine maintenance, though they do need watering in dry spells and feeding.
Our range of containers goes from the small to the large statement pieces, all at good value prices.
​
we currently have:
​
Wooden half whiskey barrels ( ideal for water features or a statement display
traditional terracotta, from plant pots to large urns
glazed pots in a variety of sizes and colours
salt glazed pots, typically mid sized and larger pots
Fibre clay; lighter and easier to carry
Plastic, including some decorative plastic. lightweight and long lasting.
​
​
GROW YOUR OWN VEG.
​
Potatoes are easy grow.
the best tasting potatoes are the ones you have grown yourself. they don't have to take up a lot of space, they can be grown in large containers, towers made of old car tyres or the usual way in beds in the ground.
​
Normally planted as the soil begins to warm as winter ends in March & April many growers get an early start by planting in containers.
​
Potatoes are grown from seed potatoes planted in well dug and fertilised soil. we have a wide rnage of different types of seed potatoes to suit all tastes.
ADD WINTER COLOUR WITH THE ORANGE BRANCHES OF DOGWOODS.
You can add shape and colour to your garden with shrubs with interesting leafs or brightly coloured branches
The red stems of the dogwood is perhaps the best known of the shrubs that bring winter colour, other options include:
​
evergreen topiary, which can provide a focal point or form and structure to a garden all winter long
Holly bushes with their evergreen varigated leaves and bright red berries are great to add interest to boders and provide folliage for birds to shelter in.
