And for viewers in Cambridge…

Thanks to Mick Matthews for getting in touch about the CSSG‘s 10th Potato Day on Saturday 2nd February 2019 at All Saints Church, Market Square, Huntingdon PE29 3NR from 10.30-1pm and entrance is FREE. Spuds are £1.30 per kilo (£1 if members) which is a nice price! Mick also tells us they’re having a seed swap and second hand tool stall there as well. Great stuff, if you’re around those parts do go along! Their website is here for more information.

And finally…

Looking through the racks of WH Smiths in Holborn yesterday we found some popular gardening magazines are doing a free seed offer with their latest issues. You know they’re not going to be a full pack of seeds that you’d usually get in your local garden centre but it’s something. Grow your own is doing 10 free seed packs for £5.89, Kitchen Garden 5 packs at £4.99 and Veg Garden 10 packs of free seeds for £8. Have a browse in your local magazine emporium before it’s too late!

 

Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch!

Big shout to the Thompson & Morgan blog for publishing the lovely “Thompson & Morgan’s little book of garden wisdom” and what’s more you can download it for FREE from here.

It’s a great resource for all gardeners be they novice or experienced, right from the first chapter “Gardening tips for beginners” it’s full of brilliant tips and ideas. As we’ve said before gardening is such a wide spectrum there’s always something to learn.

We can relate to it; “”Nobody gets it right first time” says Kate of Diary of a Country Girl blog”, yes we can just think back to the time we were faced with the back end of a large rodent in the compost bin after previously putting some salad leaves into it (that possibly had traces of meat on them). There’s stuff about looking after your soil, tool care, fruit & veg, container growing and a whole lot more. Big shout for Thompson & Morgan for producing a informative read! Get yours now here.
