Spent a fair bit of time tidying up from the windy weather we had and removed the dead leaves from the plants ready for spring!
Very much looking forward to spring so I can start planning my hanging baskets and sow new seeds ready for summer!
Quite a few more evergreens I want to buy this year and of course can’t wait to take covers off the outdoor furniture and sit out.

Me too!!
I have a lovely furniture set outside that I want to use, I bought it in the October sale so haven’t had chance to use it yet as I fit a furniture cover on them as soon as they arrived.
Lovely 2 seater sofa, 2 big chairs and a glass topped table

Our garden is a disgrace at the moment,thanks to a combination of the weather and the dog.
It's dry today,but much too cold to go out there and start tackling the mess.

It's hammering down today and the weekend's not looking great either.

I'm hoping to go to the garden centre this weekend to pick up some new seeds ready to plant. for the warmer weather
Does anybody have good recommends for a gardening newbie? The only thing I have managed to grow really with success is runner beans!

its all trial and error try to grow what you like and learn by the mistakes you will make i am an old man and i still make them i have a competition with the tackers next door with sunflowers i grow them pot them up give them to them so they can look after them and learn winner gets a pound costs me 3 pound every year haha but they ask questions and thats how they learn better than having them playing computer games all the time

A busy day in the garden today, got a tray of primroses & wallflowers planted & watered in. Although frosty this morning they'll be fine. 2 lovely thornless blackberries in the garden also got new growth tied back to the trellis. Surprisingly easy to grow if you just get the pruning right. And delicious
Best tool/aid I bought recently is a folding kneeling stool, doubles as kneeling pad or a perch. Got plenty of use today..
Although, so sunny I actually went and put sunblock on to prevent getting burnt!
Potatoes are chitting. I was gonna do more but I've run out of grit.. I've go cuttings to take, seeds to sow, plants to pot on, and repot!
So a trip to the nursery on Tuesday.. More mulch needed as well.
I'm waiting for a new mini greenhouse cover to arrive, although if its a really bad fit (I hope not) its a new greenhouse.
I have more seeds than I know what to do with, and also hold a stock (bags full) for a local charity, so if anyone needs anything. let me know & I'll see what I can do.. We always have too many.
Anyway enough of my ramblings.. A few dry days but some rain will turn up!!!0 -
Hi Mary
I can recommend subscribing to the Thrive newsletter. https://www.thrive.org.uk/get-gardening
Peas & beans are pretty easy, although as a rule grow stuff you want to eat:) And salad crops.
I have a fantastic perennial kale plant, but there's only so much kale a person can eat.
If you have space you could consider some fruit bushes, or dwarf trees.. Or 'stopover' fruit trees.
Rhubarb is pretty foolproof as well..0 -
Been a great day for the garden, sadly my mower decided not to join me for this season, so on the hunt for another one.
