Gardening Diary
January is definitely our ‘low key’ month. You could use the opportunity of milder weather to catch up on jobs in the November and December to-do list that you didn’t manage to get done.If it is very mild at the end of the month, you could sow some varieties of pea, e.g Feltham First …
Autumn Show
Banstead Horticultural Society invited us to enter exhibits in their Autumn Show this year. We were delighted to be able to make a strong contribution to a highly successful event.
Curly Kale
Kale is very fashionable these days but curly kale crops well, and early, tastes sweeter, and looks great!
