Garden and greenhouse enthusiasts have been told that the time for putting in hard work has arrived.

Its May gardening tips include using dried grass clippings as a mulch in flower beds and vegetable gardens.
However, it warns against using those that have been treated with herbicides as these can damage and even kill other plants.
Those planting annuals or perennials should be sure to loosen up the roots to help them spread, while it is a good idea to “fertilise everything right now”.
“From your annuals, to fruit trees, to perennials, to shrubs, grass and etc. Use a higher phosphorous fertiliser to grow better flower, fruit, and vegetables,” the website advised.
