Some little tips, throughout the winter I throw all my egg shells, banana peels and coffee gounds on to the veggie patch ready for planting in spring and summer.

Can you tell the difference between a native and a Spanish bluebell? Don't worry, we're here to help! 💙

Native bluebells have...
👉 Narrow leaves, about 1-1.5cm wide
👉 Deep violet-blue (sometimes white), narrow, tubular-bell flowers, with tips that curl back
👉 Flowers on one side of the stem
👉 Distinctly drooping stems
👉 A sweet scent
👉 Cream-coloured pollen inside

Spanish bluebells have...
👉 Broad leaves, about 3cm wide
👉 Pale blue (often white or pink), conical-bell flowers, with spreading and open tips
👉 Flowers all around the stem
👉 Upright stems
👉 No scent
👉 blue- or pale green-coloured pollen inside

Look out for pine ladybirds this month 🐞. They can be found sunning themselves on conifers and hawthorn hedges at this time of year. Barely 4mm long, they have two comma-like spots at the front and two rounder ones behind. They also have black legs and a small orange patch to base of the tummy. It's a useful insect to have in the garden as they eat scale insects, aphids and woolly aphids on both apple and pine trees.

To all my customers new, future, regular and one offs.
Firstly, Happy New Year to you all.
Also, just a quick message to let you know I'm now taking bookings for 2024 . I have some taken already. So to save any disappointment please book as soon as possible. Grass cuttings start in March. But garden clearances can start now.
I look forward to hearing from you and getting your appointment in the diary. I'm now based in Thamesmead, so if you know of anyone else needing their garden done, feel free to pass on my details.
Take care 🙂
Kindest regards
Laura 🌳 🌳 🌳

Winter is just around the corner, so get in touch for your last cuts of the year, garden clearances or just a general tidy up from all the leaves.
