Marsha and I have worked together for many years for various publications including the following books: The Complete Gardener Gardening at Longmeadow The Home Cookbook Most lettuce take about 6 to 8 weeks to grow sufficiently large to eat and will be good for another month or so if kept watered and cool. Lettuces grow best in mild, moist conditions so a hot, dry summer is as big a problem as a cold winter. However many lettuces are happy in some shade as this will keep them cooler. To avoid a glut or, worse, your lettuce all running to seed at once in very hot weather, the secret is to have good succession - which essentially means maintaining a small but constant supply of plants rather than one big harvest. To do this sow some new seed every 3 or 4 weeks and as one batch goes over another will be ready to eat with a third growing on as young seedlings. Magically delivering on all of the components that make a great garden and doing it better than any of us in the process. The Complete Gardener is a comprehensive gardening guide that no gardener should be without. This is a must-have book for anyone seeking Monty's gardening advice and the perfect gift for any gardener, regardless of their experience or budget.

This is a dedicated piece of ground that can be just a couple of metres square or less in which seeds can be sown in short, closely spaced rows before transplanting the seedlings to their proper and final positions. However climate chaos is affecting us gardeners in unpredictable ways - which is, I guess, one of the definitions of chaos. Here in the UK our Spring weather is getting more erratic with very warm and very cold weather running hard into each other. Last April we had snow and 20 days of frost yet hardy plants by and large cope with this.The Dry Garden had become dominated by thugs such as Acanthus mollis, Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) and Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)- both attractive and desirable in themselves but overwhelming everything around them, so we too everything out - discovering dozens of submerged bearded Irises in the process- and cleaned the beds. In May 2022 it was reported that Don had COVID-19 and had been bedridden for four days. [76] [77] He contracted COVID-19 again in May 2023. [78] Other [ edit ]

There is an irony in this as despite the cold snaps, much of April is filled with long, sunny days with the tulips breaking hourly into radiant flower and above all else, the world turning green.Initially Don filmed episodes of Gardeners' World in Berryfields, a rented garden in Stratford-upon-Avon. When he returned as host in 2011, Don began to present from his own garden, Longmeadow, [26] [27] in Ivington, Herefordshire. He was frequently seen on screen with his Golden Retriever Nigel until the dog died in May 2020, [28] [29] shortly before its 12th birthday.

[31] Nell was diagnosed with cancer in June 2023 and sadly died in October 2023. [1] In 2020, Don signed a contract with the BBC to continue presenting Gardeners' World for three years.

The aim is to grow strong, healthy individual plants so if you buy a pot with lots of seedlings I think it better to divide each pot into two or three. Then plant these sections at the base of each support so they have less competition and you should end up with more flowers. I would recommend that every gardener experiments with different varieties until they find the ones that they like but also to grow three or four different types and varieties at any one time throughout the year.

The first stage in that process is to reuse any plastic seed trays and pots that you have - and to look after them so I can continue to use them for as long as possible and not replace them. Grounded in his own experience, Monty’s straightforward gardening advice is paired with extraordinarily beautiful photographs taken over the course of a year in his own Herefordshire garden, taking you on a tour of his flower garden, herb garden, kitchen garden, and more. Finally, encourage a wide range of predators. I have masses of thrushes, frogs, toads, beetles, centipedes, shrews, and a few hedgehogs - all of which love eating slugs and snails. This needs plenty of cover, an avoidance of toxic chemicals - such as slug pellets - and a degree of tolerance for collateral damage.
