News and Tips


Cuttings
If you have a little heat in the greenhouse the next few weeks is a good time to start taking cuttings because the light a day lengths are improving. If you haven't got heat then be patient for another few weeks.

Protect from low temperatures
Fuchsias may now be coming into growth along with other varieties of plants. If temperatures are forecast to drop into the lower single figures consider covering with fleece.

Sweet peas
If you haven't already done so your sweet pea seeds need planting in the next few days to produce good plants.
