WELL what's going on outside certainly is seasonal for the time of year and its great for getting plants in the mood for growing. It's hard to realise that is only really early Spring, it's just with the early hot spell that we had we now think that we are somewhere in May, but the best is yet to come! With there being so much to do in the garden


now and the weather isn't great, start to think about doing a touch of planning, remember where you had gaps appear in the flower beds last year, or where plants are growing that you might fancy moving around for a change, just because when the weather does improve you will have a clearer idea of what to do! At this time of year there's nothing more


satisfying than getting out in the garden and giving the grass a good mow, whether it's going for the striped bowling green effect, or just simply giving a "chop 'n' drop" you can't beat that unforgettable smell of the first cut of grass after the winter months. Here on the nursery we have some large grass verges outside and we know it is just as important to feed the grass as it is to cut it! The lawn is generally judged on the shade of green it appears and to help this there is an array of specialist fertilizers out there nowadays, but it's all about choosing the right one. They all claim to do it all! When selecting what to put on your lawn firstly look at the lawn itself. If it has a lot of

other plants growing in it, for example buttercups and other weeds like speedwell, dandelions and so on, don't just simply rely on a lawn sand. Before mowing look at applying a broad leaf selective herbicide, which in English means a weed killer that kills everything but grass! This will be a lot more effective than relying on the lawn sand but will also help your lawn look much better, but remember

when you have sprayed the lawn leave it un-mown for at least two weel« to allow the weed leaves to take in the spray before you chop them off. Once you have eradicated the weeds look at applying a lawn feed to help the grass grow stronger but also to look a fresher shade of green. If you do have any questions please do feel free to write to the nursery or give me a ring at the nursery on 01200 447615.
