Around the garden job checklist - week 19

6 - 12 May 2013

It's time to...

Dig out lawn weeds, such as daisies and dandelions
Watch out for greenfly and blackfly developing on shrubs, perennials and roses, and spray with a soft soap solution if infestations are bad
Collect hellebore seeds from ripe pods, and store in an envelope in the shed or sprinkle over prepared soil
Invest in an extra compost bin, so that as much green waste from your kitchen and garden can be recycled
Check your RCD works for all outdoor power tools such as mowers and hedge cutters
