The flower garden
Watch out for late frosts. Protect tender plants
Plant out summer bedding at the end of the month (except in cold areas)
Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of daffodils and other spring-flowering bulbs
The veg patch
Earth up potatoes, and promptly plant any still remaining
Watch out for viburnum beetle and lily beetle grubs and remove by hand if causing damage
Hoe off weeds in vegetable patches
Green gardening
Water early and late to get the most out of your water, recycle water when possible
Mow lawns but consider leaving some areas uncut for wildlife, or mow less often so flowers can bloom
Check carefully for nesting birds before clipping hedges
