The Woolly Gardener's Guide: Sustainable Gardening Tips by Hortiwool

If you've ever thought about growing your own food or flowers but didn't quite know where to begin, we'd like to make a case for starting right now. Not next spring. Not when you have a bigger garden or more time. Now. This month. In May.

If April is the month the garden wakes up, May is the month it really gets going. The risk of frost is mostly behind us, the days are noticeably longer, and there's a warmth to the soil now that makes everything want to grow.

Ask any gardener what they're most looking forward to growing this summer, and the chances are tomatoes will be near the top of the list. April is the month it all begins and if you get your tomatoes right now, you'll be rewarded come July and August.

There's a moment in April, you'll know it when it arrives, when you step outside in the morning and the garden feels genuinely different. The light has changed, the birds are making an extraordinary amount of noise, and something that's been quietly coiled up all winter finally starts to move.
