Your Monthly Top Tip!

Tip for MayGrowth should be extending and buds forming so beware of late frosts on the delicate tips. Some of the fresh spring growth is great for chopping into a refreshing dessert. Watch for cuckoo spit or at least the little monkey inside, a froghopper that enjoys sucking sap from the stems. A cold water shower will see him off!
