Spring

April showers bring May flowers—and they also bring a busy month for lawn care! 

April is with us, and as the daylength increases, so does the light intensity, the sun has real warmth, all signs that spring is with us at last!

Ah, the joys of a fresh spring day—perfect for getting your Mountfield petrol lawnmower out of storage and giving your lawn some love. But wait… it won’t start. Frustrating, right? If your trusty mower ran perfectly last summer, the culprit is probably stale fuel left in the tank over winter.

Here’s why old petrol is a problem and what you can do about it.

Spring has officially sprung, and it’s time to get serious about lawn care.

Suddenly March is with us and let’s hope it proves to be a real harbinger of spring!

The weather in February with its constant, cold, wet weather seemed to go on and on throughout the month. So much for our hopes of an early start in 2025.

British gardeners however are nothing if not optimistic, so let’s hope March ‘gets us growing!’

May has arrived and gardeners in many parts of the country are hoping that with it, spring-like weather may finally arrive at last!

Growers lucky enough to have a greenhouse have been able to make a start, but for those relying on sowing direct in the garden, many have been with waterlogged, cold soils.

So let’s be positive, but for sure, we are in for a busy month.

April arrives and with it, if the weathermen are to be believed, some real signs of spring weather! Like a good deal of the country, here in Devon the rainfall has been remarkable.

At least we shouldn’t have any hosepipe bans this summer!

The weather has meant we are behind with our ground preparations and early sowings. So April is going to be a very busy month – let’s get to it folks!
