Its February, and the end of winter is in sight; have you seen any snowdrops popping up? Do you still have snow where you live? Despite it still being cold, damp, and windy, you can still get ahead by sowing seeds now and prepping your garden and beds for spring (see below…)!
We hope everyone had a great start to their year! Our January has been full on, even though winter is a slower time for us; Chris and Jo attended the UKLCA conference last week, with Chris doing a presentation on lawn dressing (more specifically, discussing if it is dull). We also turned 15 (!!!!!), and celebrated by sharing our story and history with our followers, and by hosting a giveaway (which closes on the 2nd of Feb so hurry up!!).
February is the perfect time to sow seeds; it is best to use a heated greenhouse, a warm light space indoors, or a heated propagator to start seeds off before planting out once the risk of frost has passed in May.
Prepare vegetable and flower beds and borders so the soil is in good condition by the time you are ready to put plants in; weed thoroughly and then cover with mulch, e.g. our Field No.1 Organic Soil Improver or No.12 Nutrimulch.
