May

Protect new spring shoots from frosts and slugs....

Hoe your borders to get rid of weeds before they take hold.

Plant up tubs, containers and hanging baskets for a blaze of colour
throughout the summer.

Now the soil is warming up and things are starting to grow, add general 
purpose fertiliser before covering with mulch especially in borders, the fruit 
                                                and vegetable patch and containers.

                                                May is the last chance for sowing a new lawn this spring - if you are unsure  
                                                how to tackle making a new lawn, please ask for help and advice.

                                               Lawn mowing.Try and mow weekly. Feed established lawns if you haven’t already done so.
