Yes after today the hours of darkness get shorter, leading us into spring, some weeks away. But you know the amount of spring flowers out now is incredible!!

Now we should be getting our gardens ready for spring. Turning the compost, mulching, feeding the fruit trees and of course planting for the colder months.

A very good green manure ( to leave in the garden and not harvest) Mustard, lupin, broad beans, Fava beans, crimson clover and I am sure a lot more. These crops are chopped and mixed into the soil

Planting your brassicas, spinach, garlic. broad beans, peas, carrots, onions, kales, parsley,potatoes etc

I know I will have forgot a lot so please tell me!

Happy gardening my friends
