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!
Owning a greenhouse is an utter treat, and Lucy certainly adores hers (HUGE thanks, Aunty Gwen). Getting the most out of this precious under cover space is her goal, so this week, while Saul takes a well earned rest, she explains how she looks after her building to best effect. Expect discussions on essentials such as temperature and light management, and also listen out for her tips for installing services and juggling space when seedlings and maturing plants compete on the staging. Oh, and installing a light so that you can garden at night is a win, win!
