Climate change is certainly affecting our weather patterns with extreme heat or rains. Today was a hit one for gardening, luckily the vast garden near Holbeach has plenty of shaded areas. Watering is vital for the plants and the creatures that visit your garden. Bird baths, bowls saucers all helps the birds and hedgehogs.

Enjoy your garden in this extreme heat for May. Hoping you have dappled areas to recharge in your garden.

A few pics of gardening in the last two weeks. Am happy to discuss your gardens, if you may be wanting help on a regular basis. I have a few four weekly plans available from mid June. Happy to arrange a garden viewing or discuss your garden.

Thank you

After today's great experience at time to get back into being a gardener and eat less cake this week. Hopefully the weather will be better from tomorrow in the garden. Dave the gardener

As part of my birthday week, I decided a non gardening day, today had the pleasure of riding in two ww2 Lancaster bomber planes.

I say two, the front half nx611 Mk7, and the rear from another Lancaster whilst repairs are being done, to make it fully air worthy. A ride, tour, lunch, cream tea at

I chose the rear gunner port, how air crew survived in missions is amazing exposed to severe elements.

My late father ,served at RAF Wickenby Aerodrome, Museum & Cafe in 626 squadron, on Lancaster's.

Bloody amazing experience💙

Back to gardening mode from tomorrow. 🌿 Slots from June available on a four week plan only. No weekly or fortnightly available at present.

Thank you

Nice to do some early morning planting in the humid air, today was forecast to be raining all day, now no longer. Planting up or adding texture and colour to any border is rewarding, for sunny or shade borders.

This coming week I am working at three new gardens, and the small thing of a flight in a Lancaster bomber, as a birthday treat.

Today I will visit the open gardens in Kirton Underwood near Bourne, as well as an antique fair at bomber command museum, in Lincoln.

Following enquiries I have had, please note I only have 2 four week slots available from May, and 4 from June.
I do not have weekly or fortnightly slots available at present.

Happy to discuss your garden and arrange a garden viewing.
Enjoy your bank holiday weekend.

Thank you

A nice week of gardening and visiting new gardens, which some are now added to my schedule.

I even got some time in my little garden in Donington, and hopefully some more time planting tomorrow.

My schedule now only has one slot left in May, but three more plans are currently available from June.

If you are seeking help in your garden, I can always add you to my pending list for any cancellations, over the next few weeks.

With this warmer but breezy weather, it's good time to start ensuring your gardens are watered a few times a week, with the soil drying out quickly, hydration is important for established and new plants in your garden.

Enjoy your garden. Thank you.

A nice week of gardening, including at 3 new gardens in Donington and Billingorough.
This week I was working in Holbeach hurn, Billingorough, Helpringham, Great Hale, Splisby, East Kirkby and Donington.

Though I have two garden viewings next week, my current schedule has only two available slots left in May.
In June I have 6x 3/4hr slots, or more if shorter visits.

Please note I only take on gardens where regular slots are required.
Happy to discuss your garden and arrange a viewing next week.

Enjoy the warmth and sunshine this weekend in your garden. Thank you 🔆🌿 Dave the gardener
