SPRING FORWARD

Spring forward, Fall back - that’s how to remember which way the clock goes when the hour changes.  I think we need it to happen the other way round, so that we get more light in the autumn evenings, but maybe getting an hour less sleep when it’s getting colder and darker, might be too much.  It takes less time to recover from the hour change when you know that the long summer evenings are just around the corner...

Now is a good time to plant up a new border with container grown plants - before the weather starts to get too hot and dry.  Try to get the plants established before the summer.
