Spring Basket

Take a look at some useful goodies that can help you in your veggie garden this spring.

Bright and Vibrant

Bright colours attract pollinators to the garden and there is no better way to do this than by planting brightly coloured flowers in amongst your vegetables. Starke Ayres has a new flower seed packet that is bound to do the job very well. The Geum coccineum ‘Orange Queen’ flowers have a compact and robust branching habit meaning that the plant will have a sturdy structure with multiple branches, making it visually appealing and easy to manage in a garden or pot. The bright and unique colours of the flowers will not only add beauty to your surroundings but also attract bees.
