This week has been filled with more fencing, garden maintenance and quotes to do! The fence job that Richard did this week included cutting down a number of conifers at the back of the garden, disposing of all the greens waste, and replacing them with a six foot high feather edge fence and kickboard. Our customers were lovely people and were very happy with the job. Maintenance was thirsty work on Wednesday, since we had a really hot day that probably wasn’t THAT hot, we’re just not used to it! And the rest of the week was business as usual.
One thing that was noted this week, was there seem to be a
few more bees about the place, which is great news. So, if you don’t have many
flowers in your garden, maybe you could consider doing some planting this
weekend? You don’t need to have huge borders full of plants and flowers, although that
would be nice. Even just a few pots here and there, after all the bees need
pollen and nectar to survive and at the same time you can brighten up your
home.
Here are some planting tips:
Always make sure your pot has holes in the bottom, if it
hasn’t, make some to avoid water-logging
Place a layer of stones in the bottom of the pot to help
with drainage
Choose a suitable compost for your plant, often a
multi-purpose compost will do
Now, loosen the roots of your plant, place it in your pot
and fill with compost
Water well and enjoy
Of course if you do want that border full of beautiful
flowers, you could always call us! Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for reading.
