Picasso potatoes will follow but are in very short supply & smaller compared to previous years - the farm is liable to run out by Christmas 😭 this is due to the inferno type weather which has caused the farmer to be down 75% on his yields 🥔

As we have now entered the 'Ber' months
It's time to get planning for the spring 🌱

Let's start by talking about Bulb Lasagne
By now most of you would have heard about it somewhere and it really isn't that complicated
It will also give you a gorgeous display to start the new gardening year with maximum impact 😍

It's quite simple

The largest/later flowering bulbs are planted at the bottom
Like tulips (we have an amazing range in now!) or Daffodils - don't confuse these with Narcissus
Daffodils are the big brother of Narcissus 💛

Middle section
The baby brother of Daffodils - Narcissus
Which come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours
You could also plant hyacinths here too
Bonus... They smell divine 😋

Closest to the top
💜Crocus!
These are the smallest and earliest flowering bulb - don't fancy crocus, how about some lovely muscari?

Then to top it all off
Pansies/Violas to give you winter colour so that your pots don't look bare

Just make sure you sandwich the bulbs between layers of GOOD quality compost
We know where you can get some 😉

And DRAINAGE - don't make the same mistake I did a couple years ago (I forgot to drill holes in my pots) let's just say all my hard work drowned 😢

We've got plenty of stock to get your spring displays well under way 💕

*Don't forget - we also have 25% off MAJORITY of our plants! Including shrubs, perennials & climbers 😲*

It's gardening weather!

The best time for autumn planting is during September and October when the soil is still warm from summer and regular rainfall helps roots grow strong before winter

So why not take advantage of our special offers!

🌱25% off all plants (excluding new season stock like pansies, wallflowers etc)

🥕All autumn planting veg packs now £2 a pack 😲

💛It's also time to get planting your spring flowering bulbs - take advantage whilst the soil is damp and actually diggable 🤣

Our autumn collection has expanded even more 🫨

From Garden Mums, Autumn/Winter Hanging Baskets to TrioMix Violas!

Fancy making your own autumn and winter basket/pots?

Have a look at our hardy patio range full of alpines & herbs (including a compact lavender that only grows to 30cm tall🪻)
Add in a Heuchera, Pansies, Cyclamen & you'll have a gorgeous hanging basket to see you right through to Spring 🌱

Autumn 🤝 Pickling Season

Wondering what to do when the Autumnal weather hits? Why not pickle your own onions 🧅

Make them as mild or as spicy as you like!
Our personal preference - spiced vinegar & MORE spices 😍
