May Gardening Tasks

The warmer months are the ideal time to get some key jobs done outside, including planting, pruning, cleaning and sowing. With so much to do before summer arrives, it’s important to get stuck in right away to give your garden a much-needed boost ahead of peak growing season. Plants are not the only part of your garden to focus on this month, in fact, garden furniture and outdoor features should be at the top of your list this May.

Sweet Peas

Plant out sweet peas this month. They are half hardy, and will withstand a good degree of cold, but it is essential plants are hardened off before planting out. Sweet peas look just great in the border climbing up an obelisk or suitable support and add colour, height and best of all scent. Sweet peas are an effort, but long flowering with regular dead heading I have picked Sweet peas in late October so you get your money’s worth. But this can only happen if you remember to keep picking the flowers throughout, they require time and effort throughout the growing season but you will be rewarded with masses of blooms and scent.

Sweet peas like moisture and one tip is to line the trench with newspaper to add extra moisture retention. If sweet peas get too dry, they are prone to mildew.

Train Climbing Plants

Climbing plants will put on spurts of growth in the warmer weather, and the new growth has to be tied in. This supports the plant and enables you to guide the plant to grow where you want it to and not where it may want to go. It is a wild generalisation, but many climbing plants are a bit of a thug, fast growing and clinging to anything around, including neighbouring plants. It is good to train the climbing plants and tie it in otherwise you can find a smaller plant next to the climber gets tangled up and their growth is restricted by shoots from the climber.

Stake Peonies

Nearly all peonies benefit from staking, or placing metal or wooden peony supports around the plant. Stake the peonies early in their growing season as the shoots begin to emerge as it can be more challenging to stake peonies later on without damaging the foliage.
