Spring should finally be here in the coming weeks – and gardeners up and down the country will undoubtedly be keen to get back to work with their garden equipment outdoors.
However, it should be noted that some plants are considerably more demanding than others and can be relatively difficult to grow.
Chartered landscape architect and garden writer Bunny Guinness singled out delphiniums and lupins as a good example of such plants.
In an article for the Daily Telegraph, she explained that despite this, they are well worth putting the effort in for, as they are "vital ingredients of the quintessential English garden" – along with hollyhocks.
The expert said: "I have neglected to grow them recently, but have decided to find space and renew my enthusiasm for them."
On top of everything else, it is important that the soil is well maintained before committing to planting – so why not think about investing in an MD Super Compact Garden Tiller.
This is perfect for digging, turning and breaking up soil before planting – and is available for just £279.95 at MowDIRECT!
