RE: Spring Garden Journal - My Favourite Flowers Turned Up

Thank you ! We're so lucky that we've got good soil here. It's quite heavy and clay-based (in Victorian times, our road had several potteries using local clay), but we constantly work to improve it.

It's not too hard or expensive - although we add some fertilisers, mostly it's done with compost we make ourselves from cuttings, twigs, vegetable peel, eggshells etc. The key is to just keep doing it regularly, a little bit at a time, year in year out. Enough water is a big help, too !
