John Stirland waxes lyrical about the joys of the garden waking up after the long Winter and how the Easter holiday is the time for you to really get on top of the 'to do' list to get your garden set for the busy growing season.
We discuss sowing hardy annuals, buying your bedding plugs and protecting them in preparation for planting as the risk of frost eases, some border plant suggestions, use of glasshouses and getting your fertiliser down.
As ever, the chapter tab gives you the option of diving in at a specific topic but you might miss some snippets of wisdom from the Gandalf of Gardening!

A reminder that this is an edited version of our weekly Loving Your Garden Live event which goes out at 6pm (UK time) every Tuesday evening so it may contain the odd visual reference. Do feel free to join us and enjoy the friendly knowledgeable and inspirational members from all over the world.
