To Do List for May

Feed established lawns before the end of the month with a fast action spring fertiliser – preferably with added moss and weedkiller. And to be safe, if it doesn’t rain for a couple of days after applying, water it in to prevent burning the existing grass.

Sow grass seed on new lawns and repair patches

Lower the mower blades to give a short cut to grass now

Plant out annuals now that the frosts have gone
You can continue planting trees, shrubs and perennials, provided they have been container grown – and you are prepared to water if the weather’s dry

Break out the barbecue – with a bit of luck, we’ll have a better summer this year!
