I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website. -
Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year Here are your Gardening Tips for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year 1. Pruning. Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer 2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues Please give me a call on : 07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel -
Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school -
Another recommendation for Greg. He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in. The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with. Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too. Highly recommend!
