Frantic Early Summer
Early summer sees a new feature in my garden and lots of work in preparation for a well earned holiday. I look at some problems in the garden and how to prioritise the mounting workload. I also welcome some wildlife visitors to the garden and find time to sit to enjoy the early promise of another English summer.

British Summer Time Begins
Early spring is a very busy time for most gardeners. During an extended dry sunny spell, I have been busy re-potting container plants, feeding and mulching borders. I look at what might need re-potting amongst our permanent plantings, re-discover the joys of flowering potted camellias and describe the way I feed my own border plants.

Spring is in the Air
With winter having a final wild fling, there are signs that the year is now turning. Snowdrops and other heralds of spring warm the heart at this time of year. With the wind whistling around my ears and the rain relentless in its intensity, I go in search of treaures lost and visit a friend with long ears.

Winter Protection
With winter now under way, I discuss winter protection for all those slightly tender plants both outside and in pots. Short winter days can also be put to good use preparing for next season. Good housekeeping whilst not always attractive in itself, will give you a head start in the New Year.
