It's time to get on top of your gardening jobs for May – and there are plenty to be getting on with. Our outdoor spaces may be brimming with new, green life, but for a spectacular show that lasts all summer long, there's no time to rest on our laurels.
The risk of frosts has usually passed by now. This means May's a prime time for planting all sorts of fabulous flowers and crops, inspired by your favourite garden trends. It's also worth knowing what to do with faded spring bulbs, grubby patios, and later-blooming herbaceous perennials that have already started into growth.
