IF YOU WANT TO GROW PRETTY FLOWERS IN TIME FOR WARMER MONTHS, ACT NOW FOR SOME BRIGHT BEAUTIES

WITH a welcome hint of warmth in the air, it feels like spring is here and we can get going in the garden again.

If your pots and containers are looking a bit bare after winter, you could take this opportunity to clean them out, freshen up with new compost and plant some seeds in to ensure you have pots of colours in summer.

It's easy to pick up a packet of seeds at your garden centre or supermarket or order some through the post. There's plenty of choice out there and you get good value for your money, especially if you are filling multiple containers.
