Welcome back to the next instalment of How to ruin your garden, and what to do instead, preventing you from making costly and/or, if I may, just plain ugly mistakes in your garden, one article at a time. And this week we’re talking about all the little things that make my heart sink when I encounter them in gardens or see them online. You know when you are watching someone making a terrible mistake and you want to grab them and say nooooooo don’t do it, don’t do it? This series is like that.Beca

Hello team, how the devil are YOU? You may or may not know that I have a podcast with a pal of mine, Jojo.

Each year I curate a bulb guide complete with my pick of bulbs to carry you from January to July in a particular colour scheme, with the idea being you can have fun year after year mixing up your bulb choices. To me one of the joys of gardening is playing with colour. Whilst a lot of our garden planting is actually pretty permanent (save for annuals and dahlias) bulbs have always been a way of still….well, playing! It’s a way of mixing it up without causing major upheaval and keeping things fres
