Spring is the time of the gardening year where all gardeners sigh with relief, it's really time to get out and about and enjoy the wonderful world of horticulture. A garden waking up and showing its early colour and form is a wonderful space to live and work in, an it's no exception that Lucy and Saul revel in this time of year, as their gardening lives start to get busier with sowing, planting, propagation, mowing, mulching and all other gardening tasks. Sprinkle in some early flower shows and the odd plant fair and our gardening life is complete, so thank god for Spring!
With rain falling relentlessly from the skies, snails invading within the greenhouse, and seedlings bursting forth on our propagation benches, the gardening duo are made fully aware that spring is definitely here! Devon is being characteristically wet, with a month's rainfall in just over one week. Will it ever stop? (Hopefully by the time you read this Stonelands will be bathed in blue skies). Seed sowing is in full swing for both Lucy and Saul, and Lucy gives a few tips on how to bulk up plants quickly. And finally, the pair chew over the word 'pests' - how can we apply it in the garden these days, or should we at all?
