The Heat Is On

Want some spice in your life? Then head across to our shop for our much anticipated Chilli Fiesta. Starting next weekend (22nd May) we will be selling a host of different chilli plants. We will have over 30 varieties ranging from mild to the hottest chilli in the world! As well as chillies we'll also be selling spicy sauces, jams and chilli chocolate. And our hombres will be laden with chilli related information. Ole!

What A Wash Out!

So, it looks like May is threatening to deliver the April showers! The weather is hardly cause for gardening inspiration but don't let that stop you from tackling a few jobs.

Now is the time to plant up hanging baskets. Once planted, leave in the greenhouse so they can develop and fill out, before hanging out at the end of the month.

Talking of greenhouses, you can also plant your tomato plants, courgettes, and cucumbers into beds or growbags under glass. Be careful with cucumber plants though. If they are overly wet and get chilled they will rot off at the base. It's best to water away from the plant and to do so sparingly.

Our advice on a cold weekend like this is to get settled in the greenhouse and set to it! Or pay us a visit. It'll get you out if the house.

Our next post will be on ideas for your hanging baskets.
