Spring has well and truly arrived, which means lots is happening in the garden. There's also much to get done, but one of the most important tasks concerns your young plants.

Whilst you're sorting out the garden this spring, you'll have the delight of seeing your plants starting to thrive in the warmer, sunnier weather. Even more so, the younger plants you may be growing in your greenhouse will begin to establish themselves and be ready for potting out. So, before you start on your May gardening jobs, this one crucial task needs to be ticked off first.
