And if you're wondering why I've been digging a hole deep enough to warrant a ramp in case any of the hedgies fall in overnight, keep buying AG to find out... 🦔🦔 #amateurgardening #hedgehogs
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Monty story. Our aim was to report the trade's reaction to his comments & the reason for it. We fully support sustainable gardening & as regular readers know, advocate the use of peat-free products and home composting on our pages
From the sublime (hellebore buds, hurray, a sign of spring!) to the ridiculous (this summer's trailing lobelia still in flower). Seasons are still all over the place
