Spring blossom on fruit trees
Posted in Plants by James Alexander-Sinclair, 22 April 2008, 11.14AM
Spring is here, although nobody seems to have told the weather department yet. This week's biting easterly wind felt more like standing at a Siberian bus stop than April in an English country garden.

Marigolds and French tarragon
Posted in Plants by Jekka McVicar, 18 April 2008, 04.23PM
With 23 days to go until we build our display at the Chelsea Flower Show, the first buds of pot marigolds, Calendula officinalis, are showing. Their timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Hostas, slugs and snails

Primula, lavender, aphids and slugs
Posted in Plants by Jekka McVicar, 11 April 2008, 04.23PM
This year and last the cowslips have gone into full flower in early April. There are a few buds left, but those won't hold for a further five weeks, so these herbs will definitely miss Chelsea.

Sowing hardy annual seeds
Posted in Plants by Pippa Greenwood, 10 April 2008, 10.17AM
I'm like a kid in a sweet shop when let loose in a garden centre. Packets of seed are extraordinarily inexpensive when you consider what has gone in to producing them, and I always buy too many.

Growing borage for Chelsea
Posted in Plants by Jekka McVicar, 04 April 2008, 03.27PM
It's always exciting when we move the stock outside from the polytunnels to 'harden off' and 'grow on', so that they're just perfect for the Chelsea Flower Show.

Compost and green manures
Posted in Plants by Adam Pasco, 31 March 2008, 09.23AM
Several plants can be grown as green manures, sown onto beds and borders and forming a green carpet that can be dug directly into the soil, improving its organic content.
