Easter News From The Nursery

We are busy on the nursery as everyone seems to have the gardening bug, brought on by the lovely weather. So sorry I am late with this month's note.
Beautiful though the weather is and no nurseryman would admit to disliking the sales it brings, it does mean that watering duties have increased.
Tubs that have been self sufficient during wet weather will benefit from watering and top dressing. To perk up more permanent planting like evergreen Bays, Myrtles and Box, remove the top inch or two of compost and replace with new. Preferably a compost with slow release fertiliser added. Liquid feeding is also helpful, as if applied regularly through the summer season, it will keep your seasonal planting schemes fresh and longer lasting.

For anyone who is keen to plant a hedge this spring we still have a good number of Olearia traversii in 3 litre pots and we will shortly have Griselinia littoralis in 9 cm pots available.
