Spring Garden Ideas
AD
With spring hopefully just around the corner, it has me looking longingly out the window into my garden. After all, it is a place that I do like spending time in. So this year, I would just love to update and upgrade it a little, making sure I use things like making the most of discount codes and getting the most for my money.
If you just so happen to be thinking along the same lines as me, here are some ideas I have been thinking of lately.
Chiminea

A chiminea has been on my list for a rather long time and is something I need to think about where it would be safe to put one and to be honest with neighbours close by, I’m not sure lighting one up is even possible.
However, there are such lovely ones out there, that it is an idea which does just keep on coming back to me. Perhaps one day I shall go for it and see what happens.
Garden Furniture

Many people have their own preferences when it comes to garden furniture, from tables and chairs to more sofa-like offers. I personally struggle to be in the sun these days, with my skin quickly becoming itchy. So I could really do with something which offers shade over it.
With that in mind, I have to admit I would quite like to invest in a garden swing seat. These offer both a comfortable and shade, the perfect mix.
However, do remember to invest in a patio seat cover for your outdoor furniture to help prolong its life and keep it clean. Alternatively, invest in garden furniture made from weatherproof material to make your furniture last.
Consider Beekeeping
Beekeeping is a fascinating hobby that can be both rewarding and beneficial to the environment. Spring is the perfect time to start a bee colony in your garden, as the weather is mild and the flowers are beginning to bloom. Before you begin, it’s important to do your research and learn about the ins and outs of beekeeping.
You will need to invest in some equipment, such as a hive, frames, and a protective beekeeping clothing. Once you have everything set up, you can start introducing bees to the hive. Over time, you will learn how to care for your bees and how to harvest honey from the hive.
Not only will beekeeping provide you with fresh, delicious honey, but it will also help pollinate your garden, resulting in a healthier and more bountiful harvest.
Flowers, Plants and Seeds

We have quite a few bedding areas around the garden and I would like to make sure they all look nice when the warmer months come around. However, I’m not very good at gardening so may need to call in some help to make this one actually successful.
Right now is a great time to be thinking about what plants and seeds you would like to sow for the upcoming season. If you are looking to start a veg patch this year for instance, March is the time to think about planting; tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, lettuce and many more popular options.
Lighting

There are some wonderful lighting options to choose from these days, from fun fairy lights to path lighting and more (in fact I have a review coming up soon of a beautiful lighted plate).
Personally, I would like to add some fairy lights around the shed this year, I think that would add a lovely look to it.
So, there are a few ideas for things you could do with your garden this year, do you have any plans for your garden this year?

Beetroot and Asparagus because my husband is mad keen on beetroot and I am mad keen on asparagus.

lots of flowers for my hanging baskets, we have 24 over and around a pergala over the fish pond
The oriental poppy seeds, the are so stunning and would brighten up the flower beds
I would pick the WILDFLOWER MIX FOR SHADE as one area of our garden is in shade and rather empty
I will be growing Kale in my garden again this year because our guinea pigs love home grown kale for breakfast.
Have been missing my cucumbers in my salads for the last couple of weeks

I would like to plant the Hot Pepper- Chocolate Habanero and the Tomato Black Cherry as I have never tried them

Lettuce All The Year Around as this is going up in price, it makes sense to grow my own.
I’d buy ‘Hot Pepper Basket Of Fire’ because I’m planning lots of pots of chillis on the patio this year and Basket of Fire sounds like it would work well in a pot.
Will be growing more tomatoes over at the allotments this year. Very good year for tomatoes last year. Fingers crossed it will be the same again this year. Always looking for out for interesting veg that we don’t currently have.
i would buy some rainbow chard mix seeds – i love chard and its so colourful!
I’d like to try the black cherry tomatoes, I always like to grow a few different varieties
I love the Virginian stock, they always look lovely.
