82 Gardening Award Winner Attention all fair weather gardeners! by Angie Barker April is the month when you can almost hear the buds opening and leaves unfurling on the plants and trees in your garden. So if you have not ventured outside in your garden since the onset of winter – then now is your last opportunity to get the garden into shape for the summer months. There is an incredible surge of growth in the garden at this time of year - warmer, longer days coupled with rain is guaranteed to kick start your garden into life so get outside at every opportunity. I guarantee you will feel good and be enthused with thoughts of summer months to come - even Hubby is getting giddy at the thought of summer evenings spent on the decking with a glass of white wine - or two! Giving the garden a good tidy up will immediately give it a makeover and it will look a lot better - and make you feel better. So if you are looking at your garden and don’t know where to start, try the following tips for your instant makeover: • Pick up the last of the winter debris, leaves and twigs which have fallen onto borders and lawns and cut back and tidy dead perennial leaves to reveal new growth • Prune out frost damaged shoots and stems • The taller grasses such as Miscanthus sinensis will have started growing now so if you haven’t already trimmed away last years dead stalks, this is your last chance! • Give the lawn a hair cut and tidy up the edges to give a crisp finish • Mulch your borders with compost or bark chippings to give them an instant lift • Plug any gaps in borders with hardy summer flowering perennials. Rudbeckias, Astrantias and hardy Geraniums are all lovely and require little maintenance. Try Geranium ‘Rozanne’ in a sunny border and Geranium phaeum in a shady spot Be aware that frost is still around at night time so whilst the garden centres will be tempting you to splash out on summer bedding already, remember that anything tender will need protection until well in to May. So get your skates on - Hubby has the wine chilling already!
