Over the coming weeks and months, join me as I develop our brand new garden.  As a trained horticulturalist and garden designer, I'll be guiding you through the seasons ahead, sharing tips, successes and failures and exploring some of the new and inventive products on the market.

This year is the first spring season here at the Spear and Jackson garden, and I'm looking forward to cultivating a wide range of plants, flowers, vegetables and even some fruit.  

Its a small garden, with a modern courtyard around one side, family lawn area with raised borders around the other and to the front, a modern take on a traditional cottage border.

Have a great gardening week.

It seems to have warmed up slightly over the past week, but the rain we've had means that if you can cope with the mess, now is a great time to start your autumn lawn care programme.

LAWN CARE

Watch this weeks 'how to' guide to see exactly how to get rid of those bare patches in the lawn, to reduce the moss growth and how to green up your lawn for next year. 
 
Now is also a great time to mend those damaged lawn edges by re shaping the lawn with the half moon edging iron or by laying some new turf.
 
You can also remove weeds by hand this month.  The traditional daisy grubber is great for this.  Not only is it an organic solution, but also it won't stress the grass, like a lawn weedkiller would.
 
Have a great gardening week!!
