May has arrived and the days are getting longer. We are all wishing for the warmer, drier days of May and the signs that summer is on the way!
Essential jobs this month are:
- Dead-head spring bulbs this will help with next years growth.
- Harden off young plants by putting them outside during the day.
- Weed borders and beds regularly.
- Transplant any pot – bound patio plants into larger containers.
- Cut off strawberry runners so the plant focuses its energy into producing fruit.
Top Tip:
Sow lettuce seeds every fortnight to have a continuous supply throughout the summer and into the autumn.
