Imagine your garden being full of fresh vegetables all year round.  The secret? A continuous planting plan, good crop rotation and effective plant combinations. The never-ending veg plot is a concept you can apply anywhere, whether you’re growing in a raised bed, a traditional vegetable patch or a balcony garden.

Winter is gradually departing, the first rays of sunshine are warming the earth – now’s the perfect time to get your garden ready for the new season.  March to early April is the ideal time to get your beds, raised beds and balcony containers shipshape and spring-ready.

Nature has its own internal rhythms, and following them in your garden can have a really powerful effect. While the traditional calendar gives us fixed dates, the phenology calendar follows a different principle: it’s aligned with natural developments in the world of plants and wildlife. Because of this it shows us when it’s really time for sowing, planting and harvesting.
