CRAIGS MONTHLY TIPS
May
Craig talks us through his top tips for this month.
- 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.
- Get watering your house plants! With the weather heating up and more sunshine coming, your indoor plants will be needing more water.
- 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.
- 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.
- Open vents and doors of your greenhouses on warmer days. My sunshine starts to bring in some proper heat!
- 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.
