Small Garden plantings and soil maintenance in early spring https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/63b2d24a-6757-4cda-8e86-03828d4e0a59 It's eight months since we were here last, because I missed the autumn through having lymphoma cancer. Adam did a great job of caring for the gardens last autumn. You can see how small the new plants are at the moment. It's still early for many plantings, and if you are in a cooler climate, there is no rush.
