It's nearly May!

This year is rushing by, the nights are lighter (isn't it lovely) and the sun has been shining (even lovelier). Perfect time to get out in the garden even if the seasons are running a little late.
​All our Daffodils are in full bloom, luscious, yellow and fresh. Many other plants are coming through in the warmth too, Heucheras, Hostas and Poppies are all surfacing.
​We have re-established our composter and have purchased another as its easier to rotate them. So while one is full and cooking us some lovely compost we can fill the other with scraps. 
Do you compost? Its a great way to get rid of green food waste and give something back to your garden. There are so many different ways to do it too. You can buy all sizes of composters or build a box frame. And if you only have house plants you can simplify composting by blending small amounts of food waste with a cup full of water, sieving the lumps out and diluting down the liquid. Use this liquid to water your plants, it makes great plant food and the pulp can be dug straight into your garden. So even in  small flat or house you can make a big difference for your plants and the planet!
