Gardening Round-up: Transition from spring to summer

Gardening Round-up: Transition from spring to summer

Finally, it looks as if the good weather is here to stay (I hope) and with that, comes an abundance of growing within the garden, still plenty of time to plant your fruit and veg, and you will hopefully start seeing your flowers beginning to bloom.

Our vegetable patch is taking shape, although I think I may have overdone it on the planting side, if all of the tomato and Chilli plants continue to grow, I could start my own shop!

This month has seen some great posts, giving you help and advice for your garden, from novice to the seasoned gardener.

Growing Family gives us advice on Container Plant Care Tips, Late Spring Gardening jobs, What to Plant in May, and tips on how to get the garden summer ready and growing salad with children.

Over at Boo Roo and Tigger Too they have been building new storage for the Wheelie Bins, a great idea to keep them neat and tidy, we currently have six Wheelie Bins (two for rubbish, two recycling and two for Garden) and they are not the prettiest things to look at. If you do not have a large garden, there are still plenty of things you can do with A Small Garden.

Motherhood Diaries shares their easy ways to revamp your garden this spring, and Our Fairytale Adventure tells us How they created a Spring-time Garden, whilst The Gingerbread House tells you how to have Summer Fun in the Garden. If you are looking for something different to grow Lylia Rose gives advice on Three Gourmet Garden Fruit Trees that are easy to grow.

Buzy Mum gives us a Step-by-step guide to Growing Veg with Kids.

And there we have the Gardening Round-up for May, if you have any gardening posts that you would like included for next month, don’t forget to email me at hexmumlive@co.uk, or tweet me @HexMumPlus1
