Deep joy, it really is that time of year again! The plants and wildlife are starting to spring to life again and the promise of summer just being around the corner fills our nostrils as we breath in that early Spring air.
It is definitely time to tidy up the garden and make sure it is ready to be showed off to friends and family a little later in the year. This means getting the flower beds looking perfect: dead heading and weeding being a must here. Rolling that portable gas barbecue out of the shed or garage and into place for those barmy and long summer feasts.
Of course, another must is to make sure you keep the lawn mowed at least every couple of weeks or so. This will all depend on the amount of rain we have: if it is wet, you may well need to mow the grass more often.
Trim those hedges back in the Spring or late Summer too. If you neglect to do this job now, the hedge can soon grow out of control during the better weather and you may face a more mammoth task if you do not do it now.
So, once these jobs are done, you will be all ready to make the most out of your garden and keep it as the perfect environment for you and your friends and family to enjoy this Summer.
