With the February weather proving changeable with sunshine one minute and showers the next, you'd be forgiven for having no idea when is the best time to start getting stuck into your garden again.
One of the trickiest things to perfect can be the humble lawn, which can need weekly attention during the warmest months of the year. No-one wants to be left with a muddy and patchy garden after being too premature with the lawn mower, but as the grass starts to grow we can be left scratching our heads over when to cut it - luckily though, gardening experts have the answer.
According to the RHS, your lawn should "generally" be mowed weekly or fortnightly between March and October - and most experts seem to agree that March is the right time to start cutting your grass, though this will depend on the weather conditions at the time. The RHS warns to "never mow" if the ground conditions are very soft, wet or frozen, or during spells of cold winds.
