As the Coronovirus pandemic has changed many aspects of life over the past many months, the gardens and green spaces all across the UK have continued in full glory over the spring - but Summer has arrived and for many the outdoors is the sanctuary from the continued uncertainty of what lies ahead. Head Gardeners Saul and Lucy have still been full at work at Stonelands and Easy Donyland (as well as their own gardens) and continue to share their lives as professional horticulturists, there tips and tricks and their observations of their gardening lives.

Lucy is growing over 20 varieties of Tomatoes this year in all sorts of ways, and although Saul has a modest 6 varieties he loves the taste of a homegrown tomato. We've also been inundated with questions about growing Tomatoes as a lot of first timer growers are grow the delicious, red fruit during the lockdown, so Saul and Lucy have a good chat about the varieties and types they love, and how they get the best out of their yields.
