Join Richard in this weeks podcast in which Richard has spent this Easter Weekend gardening. Chef Scott is also back with another tasty recipe.

Kitchen Garden Update: Easter Weekend Gardening

Over this weekend Richard has spent a lot of time in his kitchen garden. It started with a good tidy up ensuring all weeds where removed and the grass cut. Followed up with cementing in a washing line, another use for the garden and Richard finally removed an elder tree.

Richard was reluctant to remove this elder tree but being to close to the neighbours fence he felt it needed to go. Added to that Richard will also get wood chip from the removal of this tree.

On the bank holiday Monday Richard also spent the day potting up lots of his plants, getting them into bigger pots.

Allotment update:

Down the allotment Richard is still finding it a little too early to plant out any plants but that doesn't mean he cant prepare. He went through every bed removing every single weed and followed that up with a good cut of the grass paths. This has made the allotment look amazing and prepared for the growing season.

The grass clippings of course where not wasted and used as a mulch around many of Richards plants, Locking in moisture and suppressing weeds.

Added to that so many fruit trees and bushes are in flower and it looks like its going to be a good year for currents.
