Lovely colour. The heathers have done well this winter. I always give them a trim when the flowers fade so that they don't get too woody and then you get good fresh green growth. Ericacious feed for these.

We only have a small garden now and Gerry triple dug the very small veggie patch as it was so stoney. He put loads of compost in too so that if we do get a dry summer it will help to keep the moisture in the soil. AND we will get parsnips that are straight.....LOL.
