Keep dead-heading perennials and even annuals to keep flower production at its strongest. If you want to keep tender perennials for next year (e.g. argyranthemums, osteospermums, pelargoniums, salvias, etc.) begin taking cuttings Arrange for someone to water patio pots during holiday times. To reduce the plants' demand, move them into part shade if you can, or set a saucer underneath thirsty species. holiday wales walking

Kitchen Garden

Pick beans and courgettes hard, to keep them cropping. Don't wait for your courgettes to turn into marrows - unless that is what you want. Let only the last ones do that, at the end of the month. Plant out new strawberry plants into soil which has been really well enriched with old compost or manure. Set out plants of cabbage and broccoli into their rows. family holiday wales

Healthy Hemp UK Greenfingers Healthy Hemp: UK gardening tips advice on Healthy Hemp Healthy Hemp

Hemp has been much in the news lately, generally as a result of being mistaken for its more notorious cousin, cannabis. It has none of the mind-altering properties of the latter, but, as a report in the Daily Telegraph outlines today, hemp's qualities are increasingly being recognized and appreciated. adventure holiday wales

Not least of these are the plant¯ robust growing habits. Hemp is happy in virtually any type of soil and climate, it¯ not a favourite with insects so doesn° require the use of pesticides, and is a fast grower. holiday park south wales

For centuries hemp was used in the production of clothing and paper, and is still a component of the bank note; but nowadays you®e more likely to see it being sold as a foodstuff. It is the perfect alternative to wheat flour, soya and milk, for those with Crohn¯ Disease, gluten intolerance or dairy allergies. It is low in fat, and high in carbohydrates, protein and roughage. And, when toasted, its seeds make a delicious nutty-flavoured garnish. According to the Telegraph, the UK supermarket chain Waitrose is considering stocking loaves made from hemp seeds. And the plant has friends in high places: President Clinton is apparently a big fan of hemp-based beer. cottage holiday wales

The Sunday Telegraph reports that there have been a few raised eyebrows and more angry criticisms from MEPs who see it as another example of questionable use of Commission funds. The money has been given to the British organization, the Flowers and Plants Association which is the trade body representing flower sellers. Their campaign is aimed to raise awareness of the availability of cut flowers and other plants in an attempt to shift the general perception of them from being a luxury for treats to being an everyday feature for most households. camping holiday wales

The text of one ad claims that "Roses and lilies have been found to have positive effect on both male and female libido." Another claims that "the smell of roses has the effect of stimulating circulation, lowering blood pressure and is a good hangover relief." accommodation holiday wales

Few disagree that the campaign is well intentioned. But there is a good deal of scepticism about the different claims as few have proven scientific backing. It is the idea that the European Commission is dishing out funds in such circumstances that has caused the rumpus. holiday last minute wales

Whether scientifically proven to be beneficial or not, we at Greenfingers certainly agree that floral benefits should be highlighted and more widely enjoyed. catering holiday self wales

Differing in the Garden UK Differing in the Garden Gardening Which

magazine has just added its weighty ammunition to the ongoing his and hers gardening debate. Following similar announcements that the garden is likely to lead to a domestic, the watchdog body announces that a survey of 550 gardeners suggest that the air is more likely to be blue that green in most gardens. The research suggests that 95% of the men and women surveyed want different things in the garden. It suggests that men's attitude is fundamentally lazy, solution - or more often quick-fix - seeking and unimaginative. Women, on the other hand, work harder in the garden, actively enjoy doing so and are far more imiginative. family holiday wales

Low maintenance is a key objective for men who also like a nice big lawn. Perfect grass patches are not such a priority for women who are more concerned about having lots of colour and with scented plants a real favourite. holiday riding wales

It seems that both parties agree in liking water but on not much else. But rather than being a cause for disagreement, the different tastes and views should be seen as grounds for the ideal garden which comes from a meeting of minds. adventure holiday wales

Threat to Ancient Woodlands UK Greenfingers Threat to Ancient Woodlands: UK gardening tips advice on Threat to Ancient Woodlands Threat to Ancient Woodlands

A report by the Woodland Trust just released contains a number of worrying predictions for Britain's ancient woodlands. The Independent describes how a combination of climate change, development and agriculture could pose a major threat to large tracts of those areas of ancient woodland still surviving. And this is in the face of statistics showing that 50% of the natural habitat of broadleaved woods has disappeared since the 1930s. cottage holiday wales

Mr Arnold-Foster¯ comments are founded on a survey of 92 wildlife species that was carried out over a period of four years. Its results showed that 30 of these species were more common on organic farms, compared with just 4 on conventional farms. holiday in wales

The buttercup, which has seen a dramatic decline in numbers, is only to be found on organic farms, whilst birds and insects all benefit from the absence of pesticides and greater crop diversity. In response, the Environment Minister Michael Meacher said that the Government is committed to encouraging farmers to become more {reen If such methods are proving so helpful to Britain¯ wildlife across its fields, what about on a smaller scale, in the UK¯ gardens Food for thought for all us gardeners... holiday wales

Long-Haul Nectar UK Greenfingers Long-Haul Nectar: UK gardening tips advice on Long-Haul Nectar Long-Haul Nectar

Scientists have discovered that nectar from plants enables tiny songbirds to migrate thousands of miles. The Independent reports on the findings by the Swiss Ornithological Institute first announced in the journal Ibis. Birds including warblers and black caps normally have a diet of berries and insects, but on their long flights from Africa to Britain they 'stop-over' in areas around the Mediterranean. The research has shown that during these 'stop-overs' the birds feed on high-energy nectar which they can consume without using up energy. cottage holiday in wales

Birds were found taking nectar from local plants and, when subsequently tested, showed a marked preference for a sugar-rich nectar substitute rather than insects. Scientists say that this shows the importance of monitoring climate changes, since resulting changes to plants' flowering habits could have serious side effects; for instance, not having nectar available at the time that the birds arrive. caravan holiday in wales

Lunar Eclipse Tonight UK Greenfingers Lunar Eclipse Tonight: UK gardening tips advice on Lunar Eclipse Tonight Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Britain is in for a treat tonight, when the moon is eclipsed for the first time in the 21st century. Beginning at 6.42pm, the Earth's shadow will gradually cover the Moon, completely obscuring it from 7.50pm to 8.52pm. It won't disappear, however, since light from the Sun will continue to reach the Moon, possibly causing it to glow red. Robin Scagell of the Society for Popular Astronomy comments in The Times, "The Moon will darken and may turn a reddish or yellow colour, depending on how much cloud there is around." camping holiday wales

Scientists are expecting this to be one of the most impressive lunar eclipses in living memory. Fingers crossed for a cloud-free night... accommodation holiday wales
