Gardening Round-up: Warmer weather starting to shine through

At last there has been some sunshine, the Hawthorn bushes are full of white flowers, blowing across the country lanes, this for me signifies the start of the warmer weather!

This week sees me celebrate my birthday, and my present is a lovely Wooden Greenhouse, so look forward to lots of growing posts on Hex Mum Plus 1 very shortly, the children bought me some Mange Tout and Tomato seeds to get me going!

This month I have been sent a wonderful selection of posts to help you in your gardens! If you don’t have much time on your hands, check out Our Growing Family’s post on 10 minute Gardening Jobs, over on Thimble and Twig they grew their first vegetable garden and Wellies on The School Run gives their thoughts on growing your own vegetables.

Fashion Mommy has been thinking about her garden, check out her Garden Plans for 2017, do you have any particular plans for your garden this year ?

I think it’s important to involve the children in any projects, What 2 Buy 4 Kids tells us How To Get Kids excited about Gardening, whilst Adventures and Play show us grow to grow, using a Tuff Spot, genius idea! If you are looking for an easy activity to do with the children, check out Red Ted Art’s Grass Heads, a relatively simple activity which which grab the children’s attention and hopefully develop a life long interest in growing, twig wrapped flower pots look fabulous and take very little time.

Looking for inspiration, check out Boo Roo and Tigger’s post on How to add personality to your outdoor space or How to get your garden in shape for the spring.

Gardening needn’t be expensive, check out Red Ted Art’s 5 thrifty gardening ideas, or how about free plants ? It’s simple with Perennials, if you are unsure what to plant at this time of the year Our Growing Family tells you What to plant in March.

That’s all for this month, I can’t wait to see how your gardens start to take shape next month, if you have any posts you would like me to include, tweet me at @HexMumplus1 or send me an email to hexmum@live.co.uk, my links are in the box below.
