.........With turkey now a distant memory and all the decorations cleared away, it's time to embrace 2014 with the promise of new ideas, making the most of our attributes and enjoying all that is lovely in our beautiful part of the world. A new Spring beckoning gives us the opportunity to cast off anything we would rather leave behind and revitalise our lives; whether in our homes, our careers, or perhaps by improving our diet and exercise. Valentine's Day, 14th February, is the perfect opportunity to brighten a special someone's life, with a romantic gift or thoughtful gesture to let them know how much you care. Whatever excitement and opportunities Spring 2014 holds for you, may the new season bring you happiness and wellbeing. Until next time‌

These different issues show up as:
STRESS, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION, EATING DISORDERS, RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, PHOBIAS & OBSESSIONS,

Colour your home to enhance your mood Carefully applied colour in your home makes an immediate and lasting visual impact, giving off an array of mood-changing associations. Your colour scheme should complement the space and suit your personal preferences. Before you choose your colour schemes, always consider the space. Dark rooms can be brightened up with light-coloured walls, accessorised with white voile curtains and plenty of green plants. Tiny rooms look more spacious with pale, cool colours, accessorised with minimal light-coloured furniture. Boxy rooms cry out for a focal point, such as a feature wall contrasted with an attention-grabbing piece of furniture or art. By understanding the qualities of primary and secondary colours and how they work together, you'll have a better understanding of how to apply them in your home. Primary colours are red, yellow and blue. Secondary colours are orange, green and violet. Deep, warm colours including red-violet, red, redorange, orange, yellow-orange and yellow give a room an intimate, cosy feel. Light, cool colours such as green, blue-green, blue and blue-violet make a room seem more spacious and elegant. Pale neutral colours also have this effect.

Make 2014 the year of grow your own? Well, it’s February and already the days are beginning to lengthen, writes Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day. What’s more, there’s a renewed and passionate interest in the garden as a whole, inspired I’m sure in part by the excellent Great British Garden Revival TV series. The great news is this momentum looks set to continue this month as the BBC launches a new series Grow, Make, Eat: The Great Allotment Challenge, to be presented by Fern Britton. This is being described as the gardeners’ version of the Great British Bake Off. Nine pairs of gardeners will compete to win Grow, Make, Eat: The Great Allotment Challenge 2014 accolade. Instead of labouring under the watchful eyes of Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, the green-fingered hopefuls will be trying to impress three experts – horticulturalist and Royal
Horticultural Society judge Jim Buttress (below), floral arrangement expert Jonathan Moseley and preserves specialist Thane Price – who will weed out the weak and select one pair for elimination at the end of each episode. The six-week series sounds fun viewing, but its message of growing and creative gardening should not be diluted as Garden Centres continue to see a steady growth in the sale of vegetable seeds, plug plants and the necessary paraphernalia for successful home production. So, what will you be growing for the kitchen this season? Beans, Potatoes, salad crops, James Wong inspired unusual edibles from his Home-grown Revolution range from Suttons Seed,

the new Potato/Tomato cross, called the TomTato from Thompson & Morgan (available through them only), or maybe some fruit, a new Plum or Apple tree or a row of Raspberries, perhaps? There’s so much choice and along with it comes a great appetite for information and advice, just ask our Plants Team! However, the best advice, as always, is to work with the weather and prepare the soil in good time. This is especially true in view of the wet winter, so cover the soil with cloches or a simple black plastic sheet to help warm it up as well as keeping any further rain off. If you use raised beds, remove any weeds and add some compost to bring your levels back if they have dropped through harvesting crops and general maintenance. Here are a few pointers to soil preparation: areas
intended for brassica crops (Cabbage, Cauliflower, Kale, Radish, Swede, Turnip, Brussels Sprouts etc.) may benefit from a dressing of lime, depending on the pH of your soil. If the soil is short of humus (organic matter) work some in as well as applying a general fertiliser such as Growmore 10-14 days before you intend to sow or plant. Root crops simply need Growmore working into the soil prior to sowing and planting. Avoid adding manure and do not lime. In the crop rotation plan, “other’ crops such as Peas, Spinach, Tomatoes, Celery, Leeks, Marrow, Cucumbers and Aubergines would benefit from soil improved by liberal amounts of well-rotted manure or compost. Add lime only if the soil is known to be acid. Rake some Growmore into the soil prior to sowing/planting as before.

Once your soil is cleared and spruced up you are ready to get growing, so consider carefully the crops you intend to grow from seed or as young plants. There’s no point growing crops that are cheap in the supermarket, that’s a lot of time and energy wasted, better still look at the tasty vegetables and fruits you like but are difficult to source, are best eaten when freshly harvested or are simply too expensive to purchase. Certainly it is good opportunity to get the family members involved in deciding what to grow then you’ll find a better connection from the outset – always interesting to see who wants to grow the Brussels Sprouts! Finally, don’t be too eager to sow early. The general rule of thumb when it comes to sowing outdoor crops is to wait until you see the first dandelions coming into flower, but for goodness sake remove them before they have a chance of running to seed! This is a good indication that the

soil temperature is around 15C (59F), the perfect temperature for most crops to successfully germinate. If you don’t fancy starting off your plants from seed then later next month cell-grown veggie plugs and in April grafted Tomatoes, Peppers and Cucumbers will be available at the Garden Centre.
2014 prospects This year will be dominated by the centenary of the First World War and we’ll see several gardens at this year’s Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show commemorating the conflict. The Flanders Field poppies are likely to be big too as a national campaign for all of us to plant them are planned. Talking of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, after 30 years presenting the Chelsea Flower coverage for the BBC, Alan Titchmarsh is being replaced by Monty Don as the main presenter. Elsewhere other planting trends mooted include growing many of the different types of Begonias (bush and trailing types) to replace Busy Lizzies (Impatiens) as bedding plants to add welcome summer colour to our beds, pots and hanging baskets. There appears to be no let up in our continued interest in growing wildflowers to help bee and butterfly populations in our gardens, so you’ll be seeing a wider range of plants and seeds to tempt you further.
