Wishing for Warmer Weather

Well it’s not exactly been great weather for gardening recently but I have still managed to do a few bits and pieces in between the snow flurries, ice and gale force winds. 

I am very lucky to have the ever handy Andy who has now made me a new black planter which I am filling with a pyramid box and box hedging with yellow Crown Imperial - all bought from the fantastic plant stall on Hitchin Market - Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  This is work in progress as I started it on one of our slightly warmer days!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Handy Andy has also made me a new mini polytunnel and rejuvenated raspberry cage.

I have also managed to get out and cover up some of my raised beds with fleece in the hope it might warm up the ground (well it’s worth a try isn’t it!).  In addition I have added some of our new products to my very own garden.  These new Eco bird feeders have gone up in my garden to keep the birds fed during the snow.  You can feed fat balls, apples, cheese etc with these feeders which are made from recycled plant pots.  A very innovative product that can be used over and over again to keep those birds well fed!

Like the rest of the UK I am wishing for some much warmer weather so I can get outside and enjoy some sunshine whilst doing a spot of gardening.  I have to say I wouldn’t have attempted any gardening at all without my gardening gloves as my fingers seem to be instantly numb in the chilling winds!  We have a super selection of ladies gardening gloves available so depending on your gardening tasks to be completed, we have a super stylish pair for every job, including the new design from Bradleys below.

Fingers crossed it won’t be too long until the sun is shining and the plants are growing- here is a lovely photo I took in my garden this time last year, bit of a difference to the colours out there today!

A Moment's Peace!!

That's all I wanted this week was a moment's peace!! At the end of last week I lost my business phone line so it has been quite peaceful in that respect - but the rest of the week , well.....

Having coped with decorators painting the office and working in a complete mess, this Monday the internet went down, not good for an online retailer. I then spent over 2 hours on the phone trying to work out what was wrong only to come to the conclusion that a new router was needed!! So now we were offline and with no phone!!

Fortunately we were all off to Spring Fair on Tuesday sourcing new products and meeting with suppliers - always nice to catch up with everyone particularly when they get out the wine!! Wednesday morning - exhausted and the old back playing up again after a long day but loads to think about and sort. New router arrived and was installed and hey presto we were up and running (but still no phone!!!).

All I wanted was a bit of P & Q and suddenly I had my answer!!! This new and beautifully presented Garden Gift Set from the Laura Ashley range is entitled "A Moment's Peace"

Priced at £39.99 it includes a hand trowel and cultivator, secateurs, garden gloves and cute folding stool but if you quote "LAONE" you can get £5.00 off between now and the end of March (whilst stocks last)

I'm off to the end of the garden for a breather- let's just hope it doesn't rain!!
