November has arrived, along with cooler nights and shorter days. A time for cleaning up gardens and vegetable plots ready for winter, and a time to look at back on successes and failures so you can start planning for next year.

October has arrived, along with Storm Amy and some welcome rain, as the soil was very dry. Once the weather improves there are still plenty of jobs to get on with.

September has arrived, and it is starting to feel like Autumn, especially as the evening draw in giving less daylight hours. September is a busy month bringing in the harvest, getting the ground ready for autumn and planting and preparing for next year’s crops and display.

Last month high temperatures are likely to continue into July, but hopefully with a splash of rain in between to help keep the garden and vegetable plot growing. Many crops will require harvesting this month, but it is also a time to start looking ahead to next year’s display and a few autumn crops.

June has arrived and started with sunshine and showers, the perfect growing weather. This is a busy month planting out for the summer ahead as hopefully any risk of frost should now be long gone.

The weather has been glorious, but please remember the month of May, although warming up, can still have some cold nights and possibilities of night frosts, so please remember to have some fleece ready just in case we get a cold night to protect any of those tender plants that you have been tempted to plant out.

The lighter evenings have arrived and the weather is warming up and the soil is dry, but the nights are still cold. This month there are plenty of jobs to do in our flower and vegetable gardens. Happy Gardening!

March has arrived, but unfortunately the soil is still very wet. But don’t despair, there are still plenty of time to get on outside once the weather improves over the coming weeks. Plus there are still some jobs you can get on with undercover.

The nights are pulling out and the days gradually getting longer , this means February can be a busy month for seed sowing if you have a heated greenhouse or a warm windowsill and some itchy fingers to get started.

Happy New Year! Despite the Wet and windy weather recently, there are still a few tasks to get on with this month, so you are ready for the year ahead.
