The Winter months are on the way, each year the frosts are appearing later and this has provided more time to finish off those essential end of season tasks.  The gardens are slowly being cleaned and prepared for the Winter. 

I get asked by so many people "What’s the secret to achieving a fabulous-looking lawn with the amazing lawn stripes so coveted by everyone who loves gardens?" I always start off with my main mantra- “cut it little and often!” But as you would probably expect, it’s not quite so simple! 

There’s no time just yet for putting your feet up, but you can still enjoy a cosy night beside the fire after a day out in the garden. 

Welcome to part 2 of the July edition of the Grow updates. Here we will give you a round-up of some of the harvests in July.  We’ll also talk you through a selection of tools from Stiga that are helping to transform our Garden this Summer.  

It’s that time of year when most gardeners will be thinking about giving their lawnmower its first outing of the year, storms permitting! Having been stored away in winter ‘hibernation’ for the past few months, some mowers might need a service before being ready for action.

Welcome to the July edition of the Grow updates.  July has been one of the warmest that I can remember.  It’s been a perfect opportunity to get families out into the garden and enjoying nature as well as growing fresh healthy fruits and vegetables.  In this edition, we will talk about the different ways that we are growing tomatoes and a round up of some of the harvests in July.  We’ll also talk you through a selection of tools from Stiga that are helping to transform our Garden this Summer.  

Unfortunately, our warmer months are now over.  Now is the time to prepare the garden for Autumn and helping it recover from the summer heatwave.
