The Spring Garden

It’s officially spring and here in Madeira, and I can think of very few countries where you can see miniature daffodils nodding gaily against bright red Freesia’s, but even with Springs’s vibrancy there is still a lot of work to be done. Now, is the time to feed the soil, ready for summers outlandish outburst of colour. If you have a compost bin, now is the time to empty it, carefully, if you live in colder climes, as hedgehogs and other hibernating creatures may still be asleep and spread it around the borders. But if you don’t have a compost bin a trip down to your local stables is just the ticket. Well-rotted horse manure is a blessing in disguise, as it gives the soil and the animals living in it a real boost.
