As the days get longer and it starts to warm up 🤞, here are some jobs for the garden:

🌿 Look after that lawn. If we do get a dry day, try and get some regular mowing in. Cut the grass long for now. Rake out any moss and reseed any gaps.
🌿 Dead-head spring flowering bulbs like daffodils and tulips. This’ll help the plant concentrate on putting energy back into the bulb rather than making seeds. This will mean they will die back quicker.
🌿 Prune Hydrangeas. Now that the danger of really hard frosts is passed, cut off any old flower heads and reshape. Cutback to where a new shoot is sprouting.
🌿 Sow annuals into any gaps in your borders. I like to use wildflowers like poppies, cornflowers and oxeye daisy, but any hardy annuals will be fine.
🌿 Tie back climbers like honeysuckle and clematis before they get too big.

Looking for some jobs to do in the garden between the rain showers? The warmth and much needed moisture in the soil is going to really give your garden a boost. Here are some jobs for this week:
🌿 W**d, w**d, w**d! The recent rains are going to spark lots of w**d germination. Either use a hoe or hand pick the w**ds from your pots and beds.
🌿 Deadhead any flowering plants. This will help to keep them neat and stimulate more flowers. Once any woody plants have finished flowering it's time to cut them back to stimulate lots of flowering growth for next year.
🌿 Keep your eye out for pests. I avoid the use of pesticides, either brush them off with your fingers or use a fine spray from the hose. Keep this up and they'll soon be on the retreat.
🌿 Cut back herbaceous perennials, like hardy geraniums, that have finished flowering to encourage a second flush of flowers.
🌿 Feed and water your pots and hanging baskets. Don't let them dry out. It's best to do this either early morning or in the evening.
🌿 Mow the lawn. Cut your grass regularly to keep it healthy and neat. Cut it on a higher setting during the dry weather to help keep it healthy and reduce the need to water. Consider leaving a patch uncut if you've got a large enough lawn.
🌿 Trim your hedges now that the birds have finished nesting (do double check in case they're having a second brood).
