From the Lesson Workbook
An Introduction to Spring
I like to think of spring as the honeymoon phase of the growing season. It's the most beautiful time of the year, especially after a long winter indoors.
Of course, the weather can be unpredictable at this time of year, and we might experience a mini heatwave followed by a cold snap, or a month's worth of rain in one week.
Keep an eye on the weather forecast before you plant anything out to ensure your plants will have the best chance of survival.

The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!

Jane Scotter
Leading biodynamic grower of fruit and vegetables. Supplier to Michelin star restaurant Spring.
Jane Scotter has been farming at Fern Verrow - her certified biodynamic farm at the foothills of the Black Mountains in Herefordshire - since 1996, where she cultivates a wide range of truly seasonal vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. Jane believes that vegetables and fruit grown in good soil, at the right time of year and open to the elements have a greatly enhanced character and flavour, and that size and shape are unimportant when compared to taste and true quality. Since 2015 she has had a farm-to-table collaboration with Michelin starred chef Skye Gyngell and her London restaurant, Spring, and also grows flowers for acclaimed London florists, JamJar Flowers.
