a better time to get out there and have a good old sort out with your planting, brush off the fork and spade and put them into action now with the Summer in mind! The first thing to do is to


age of the band playing &■


cast your mind back to last year; where looked a little bit green, what didn’t flower as well as normal, and was there a big gap somewhere with nothing in at all? . Now is the time to get any old clumps of perennials lift­ ed up, divided and maybe even moved to a different place. If perennials have been in for longer than three years you will notice a reduction in the amount of flowers and even the size of flowers. This is be­ cause they are getting a little tired and need invigorating.


Spotlight To do this lift and divide


them. Don’t keep the entire clump; look at discarding the old woody centre as this has run out of energy and is too old. Replant the outer part of the plant in several pieces. Look at replanting in more than one place throughout the garden as well, asoncein flower instead of just lighting up one corner, it will highlight three or more parts of the gar­ den, giving a feel o f balance and structure. Once you have done all


yourreplantingyoumayneed some fresh plants to fill in any remaining gaps to give colour at the time of year when it all went a little green. June is nor­ mally a green month which I call the “Green Gap” - that transitional period between spring and summer. Then to keep the summer


colour continuing on through August and September can be a challenge, so look at intro­ ducing plants that fill these gaps, along with perennials with purple or yellow foliage which give colour all through theseason. All hands are on deck at


the nursery at.the moment with the build up to the an­ nual Open Weekend, signal­ ling the start ofthe season for:; 2014. Winter is behind us and it’s a great chance to see the nursery in its foil glory. With it also being the first birthday

up onion sets in small trays in compost allowing them to estab- ■ lish before planting out towards' the end of April' ■


5 - Barkthe borders If you hanve any new flower :


beds, make sure to give a good covering with bark as this will help reduce the growth of seeding


weeds. Also, if we get a dry spell bark helps keep newly planted .: > beds moist and stops the plants drying out.

It is possible to do this with other old items as well, wheelbarrows, violin cases _ etc.Withallofthemmakesure. v-" you drill some drainage holes in . the bottom and fill the bottom with gravel or old broken clay pots then this will help the drainage.
