Gardening in May..

May is a fantastic month for gardening in the UK, as the warmer temperatures and longer days breathe new life into your outdoor space.

This is the ideal time to sow tender vegetables such as courgettes, runner beans, and sweetcorn, as the risk of frost diminishes in most areas. Flower enthusiasts can plant summer bedding plants like petunias, marigolds, and begonias to ensure a stunning display throughout the season.

Additionally, May is the perfect opportunity to keep on top of weeding, mow the lawn regularly, and feed your plants with a suitable fertiliser to promote growth. Don’t forget to water your garden during dry spells, especially as temperatures begin to rise.

With a little care and attention, your garden will thrive and be ready for the summer months ahead.
