May in the Garden

  • Watch out for late frosts - protect tender plants.
  • Earth up potatoes and promptly plant any still remaining.
  • Plant our summer bedding at the end of the month
  • Collect rainwater and investigate ways of recycling water
  • Regularly hoe off weeds - don’t let them get on top of you!
  • Open greenhouse doors and vents in warm weather.
  • Mow lawns weekly.
  • Check for nesting birds before clipping hedges.
  • Lift & divide overcrowded clumps of daffodils & other spring flowering bulbs
  • Watch out for viburnum beetle and lily beetle grubs.
