Here is another lovely #lawn pic from @lisafrad who has been using Lawn Magic on her new lawn since last year. According to Lisa, since feeding the grass weekly with Lawn Magic, she's had a lot of compliments from friends and family about how beautiful her lawn looked! Thank you very much for sharing Lisa, and thank you so much for using Lawn Magic!.. . #gardenlawn #gardenlawns #richardjackson #richardjacksonsgarden #lawnmagic #qvcuk #qvc #gardeninspiration #gardeningtips #lawncare

My #TuesdayTip for this week is all about growing your own. Growing your own #fruit & #vegetables at home is a great way to help get your #5aDay and it's fun, fulfilling and cost-effective! Home grown fruit & veg tends to taste a lot better than supermarket bought items, too!But what if you live alone? Singletons need not worry, you can still #growyourown even if you don't have much outdoor space.The first trick to learn is – don’t overdo it. We know that at the start of spring it can be very tempting to rush outside, go mad and start sowing lots of everything you can lay your hands on. But there’s no point sowing a 3m (10ft) long row of lettuces – which could produce 10 full-sized lettuces, which will all be ready to eat at the same time, and 10 mini-lettuces for pulling early, if you only eat one lettuce a week! So just grow two, but grow two that you can pick every week or fortnight throughout summer.Sow a few seeds every two weeks from March to June, and even later if you want winter salads and can keep cold weather and frost off them in autumn and winter. This way you get a constant successional supply of your favourite salads and it helps prevents “gluts” and “famines”.The second big trick with all the quick-maturing salad crops – is to sow what you need/want every two weeks in cell trays or modules, ideally starting them off on a windowsill, in a cold frame, conservatory or greenhouse. Then grow these on until they’re big enough to plant out. They’ll grow faster than plants started from seeds in the ground, and when a crop is ready and you pick it, you’ll have your young plants all ready and raring to go to put in their place. This saves time and makes sure you’re constantly cropping.#Couchto5aDay #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentgarden #allotmentuk #freshveggies #vegetablegardening

Lawns are probably looking a bit worse for wear at the moment, after all the cold and wet weather the UK has had over the last couple of months. 🌧️Now the sun is shining it's a great idea to get out in the garden and start nursing your lawn back to health. ☀️ Here's a great picture from @clairs_foreverhome_ that she took last year after feeding her lawn with Richard Jackson Lawn Magic. Great result Clair!.. . #lawn #lawncare #springiscoming #spring #lawnmagic #richardjackson #garden #gardendesign #gardening

Our lawns are all looking a bit worse for wear after all the wet, winter weather we've been having. Luckily, the finer weather looks like it's here to stay for this week at least, so now is the time to give your lawns some much needed TLC and get rid of all that unsightly moss!While you can rake the moss out, this is tiring, back-breaking work that will likely leave a lot of bare patches in your lawn. Worse, the moss is likely to regrow.My advice would be to use a product formulated for use on lawns which also contains a moss killer. Once the moss has been killed it can be raked out, without the risk of it spreading. Then, if the lawn is suddenly full of bare patches, it’s best to over-seed it, but do make sure you choose a grass seed mixture which will ‘match in’ with the existing lawn….or else you’ll end up with a different sort of patchwork quilt effect!#RichardJacksonGarden #Garden #gardeningtips #horticulture #TuesdayTip #Tuesdaythoughts #horti #gardening #gardenlove #wintergardens #mygarden #protectyourplants #lawncare #lawnmagic #lawn #organicgardening #gardenblogger #greenfingers #growsomethinggreen #loveyourgarden

Last year we gifted @welliesandwaffles (be sure to give her a follow if you don't already) some of our premium all-purpose #compost & she was kind enough to say how impressed she was with it! This year, we've launched a new, peat-free compost, enriched with my Flower Power nutrients, as well as a new #ericaceous compost for those lime-hating plants such as #rhododendrons #azaleas #camellias and #blueberries .. . . #richardjackson #flowerpower #gardening #gardeninglife #flowers #plants #allotmentlife

Our #TuesdayTip for this week is very timely considering the wintery weather we've been having. With pots & containers frozen and the very strong wind plants grown in pots will have lost a lot of moisture. This is especially true with evergreens and bedding plants grown in pots. Even if you have had rain in your area it is a very good idea to give all your pots a good drink.. . . #RichardJacksonGarden #Garden #gardeningtips #horticulture #TuesdayTip #Tuesdaythoughts #horti #gardening #gardenlove #wintergardens #mygarden #protectyourplants #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #vegetablegarden #gardenersofig #organicgardening #gardenblogger #greenfingers #growsomethinggreen #loveyourgarden
