Is there anyone out there that is a good gardener , with availability to take on a few extra gardens for really valued people I have worked for for a few years ( that obviously I can no longer do ). I have tried to sort this out but have sadly been let down - again . These are not complicated gardens , just mowing , hedge trimming , strimming edges , leaf collecting . Maybe some later on where plant knowledge is a must.. You can PM me if you're available.. Thankyou .

I'm sad to announce that as of last month I have ceased Karousel Gardens , with huge regret ,several health conditions and the absolute van dramas , its just too difficult to continue . I have been honoured to look after and create some wonderful gardens . After 7 years it was NOT an easy decision to make . I'm starting work for Loros next wed , I was amazed at the care they gave to mum and it will again be a privilege to give something back to a worthwhile organisation . Here's to all of the wonderful friends I have made , for the love ,trust, laughter ,drink, food , leggings advice ( yvonne) and bee removal ( erin lol ) . Most of all the continued support all this time , I will never forget it .❤ Do stay in touch, and I'm here for advice any time xx
These are just some of the wonderful opportunities I've had. I Will be sorry to say goodbye xx

Jobs for February
Get digging!!💪
Also feeding, mulching and pruning in preparation for the year ahead. I've also a wonderful new contact for any hard landscaping/ paving /fencing.🛖

Shrubs
• It's time to prune deciduous shrubs and fruit trees, before the sap starts to rise. Cut out anything that's dead or diseased. If you're dealing with a large tree it's probably better to leave it to a tree surgeon. I have an amazing contact for tree work.🌲

• If you want to grow something a bit different, think about planting seeds.🍅

• Potatoes, onion sets and shallots can be planted in a few weeks so it's a good idea to order them now.

• Cut back autumn-fruiting raspberries.

• If you have room under cover, you can sow tender vegetables such as tomatoes, chillies, peppers and cucumbers.🥒

• You can also start on some of the more hardy vegetables that just need a bit of protection, such as broad beans, beetroot, carrots and peas.🥕

Hedges
• This is a good month to plant hedges. Bare-root plants as they're cheaper than pot-grown ones. Get in touch if required.

Roses
• If you didn't do it in autumn, this is the time to prune roses and other summer-flowering shrubs such as late clematis.🌷

FEED YOUR PLANTS. GREEN COMPOST/ MANURE /PELLETS PREFERABLY.🐮

SIT BACK AND WATCH SOME LIFE RETURNING 🙂 CONTINUE TO FEED YOUR FEATHERED FRIENDS TOO 🐦

Last day of the year (for work) at cadeby. Hedge trimming and w**d clearing underneath (via barbed wire). Small laurels moved to new location to create some privacy eventually for a new camping area, and I had a Visitor all day.. As little as an arm length away, brave gorgeous little fella/madame..

Well, another hard day at cadeby. Stump grinding, spreading the mulch elsewhere (if you do this, make sure you leave space between the tree and the mulch, 4/6 inches). Other tree work undertaken too. It has been requested that apple tree espalier work begins. Done where possible at lower level as already established really at height . Leaf clearance and rosehips relocated.. Lots of variety, but it was absolutely freezing.. Glad when today was over to be honest. Grass seed put down 3 weeks ago is growing a treat..!

Final final tidy for Di. Laurels have been reduced. Leaves /debris cleared away. Winter flowering cherry tree shaped.
