Determined to get to grips with your garden this year - prune those shrubs - have colour all year round - grow enough flowers so you have enough to cut and bring inside, maybe grow a few veg?


Sign up for a beginners gardening course held in a lovely East Dulwich garden. Saturday morning sessions beginning in March. Groups are small - max of 6 - giving you the opportunity to learn in an informal, relaxed setting. Learn how to make the best of the plants you have and which ones to buy to give you long lasting colour and form; how to look after and feed your soil; how to make your own compost; what to grow to encourage wildlife into your garden; which vegetables are easiest to grow and give the tastiest crop.


Cost includes all materials, free seeds, small plants, cuttings and tea and homemade cake. It's a great way to meet other local gardeners. Monthly starting March through to September, taking you right through your first growing season. Call Jane on 07952 898025 or email [email protected] for more info.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Strawbs. The beginners' session runs from 10.30-12.30 on Saturdays. I'll be running one in the afternoon 2-4 for people who already know a bit about gardening and want to extend their knowledge. Jane

I can highly recommend Jane's course. I enrolled on the beginner's course last year and it was great, Jane is really knowledgeable and gave us lots of useful information,hints and tips without being too prescriptive about what we should do in our gardens.

It's given me the confidence to try out new planting ideas.

In addition, she provides delicious home made cakes. Win win!

      I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.

      Southwark lists parks as an ecologically important space so don't understand the point.

      We have found 3 stag beetles in the old tree stump, and single nesting bees in the grass, so we're still not mowing it. I have taken the seeds head off the dart grass and trimmed the dead bluebells and it's alright.

      Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.
