Dusk today found me trying to haul out the last Forget-me-nots from the borders in the back garden. I've been getting a bit fed up of having to spend 1/2 hour afterwards picking the seeds off my fleece, and they give me a rash if I don't cover up, so this time I was stylishly attired in rubber gloves and sleeves wrapped in plastic bags strapped on with masking tape... nice. Note to self: next year pull them out before they set seed. The seed bank in the beds must be in hefty F-m-n credit by…

So, it’s that time of the year again, summer is edging ever closer and it’s time for you to get those garden gloves on and get your garden ready for the coming months. BBQ’s and garden parties are on the menu and it is important that your garden is looking the best it possibly can!

I have signed us up for Twitter @mprlandscapes.

Currently still getting to grips with it (more of a Facebook girl myself) and 'tweeting' other local business' seems to be going well gaining contacts and getting our name out there.

The one distraction I do have is with 'following' celebrities bringing out the inner stalker in myself (yes I am ashamed and nope I can't stop it) sorry.

Ultra Floor wish to promote the importance of moisture testing – can you really afford to neglect this simple process?

One of those crazy lunchtime chats,

The melting polar ice caps got us chatting the other day at work,

The earths wobble was the subject of the day, the cause of the seasonal, and the global  temperature changes, and the earths weather,  as the tilt disperses the angle that the rays of the sun hit the earths surface.

The same phenomenon that caused the invading Romans to grow grape vines on the South sloping slopes in England in the warm concentrated…
