Some handy tips and tricks that I will be trying out in Spring, and a really handy list of 'translations' for Gardener jargon into plain English - I've been gardening for a while and scratching my head the whole time with some of the phrases - that has already come in handy.

Some of the information is definitely aimed at the UK and our seasons specifically, but still a handy guide I would think.
