Meteorological Season

Spring begins a bit earlier if you go by the meteorological season, which is the first day of the month when an equinox or solstice takes place. So Spring begins on the 1st of March, 2025.

On average Spring lasts for 92.8 days.

On Christmas Day meteorological spring is only 66 days away!

If you are getting a gift for a gardener or someone with an allotment, you can't really go wrong with a propagator. Just two months time and the seed growing season will be starting. This propagator is twice the size of a standard version, with plenty of space for various seeds.

As the summer draws to a close, why not create a small pond on your patio or decking with a ready made, easy to install patio pond. Just add to your patio or decking, and add some water and aquatic plants. It makes a nice feature, and will attract birds to your garden, as birds will drink from it, and bathe in it. Add a solar water fountain to create the soothing sound of running water, which you might still be able to enjoy if we have a sunny September and October.
