CRAIGS MONTHLY TIPS

May

Craig talks us through his top tips for this month.
  1. Plant out summer bedding! It's time to make the garden look colourful again. May is a warmer month, which is great for these types of plants. There may still be some frosts to come, so keep an eye on the weather forecast and protect where necessary. 
  2. Get watering your house plants! With the weather heating up and more sunshine coming, your indoor plants will be needing more water.
  3. Work on your lawn. Over the darker and wetter months your lawn may be looking a little worse for wear. Now is an ideal time to sow some new seeds and repair bare patches. If you are cutting it, think about leaving some patches for wildlife.
  4. Sow more seeds! It's a great time to sow herbs and wild flowers. Have your garden looking great in no time with these easy to grow plants.
  5. Open vents and doors of your greenhouses on warmer days. My sunshine starts to bring in some proper heat!
  6. Protect plants from late frosts. Although the sun will be out a lot more than it was, and temperatures will be increasing there is still the chance for frosty nights and morning, so be sure to protect your more tender plants.
