What to do now - May
-
Earth up potatoes, drawing up soil covering the leaves, do this even if your leaves have been hit by frost.
-
When harvesting rhubarb, remember to pull the stems, do not cut, as by pulling the stems it encourages new growth.
-
Weed strawberry beds and mulch around the plants with straw. If you notice the strawberry flower appears to have a black eye, cut the flower off as it has been hit by frost. By doing this it should encourage new flower/strawberry.
-
Create a log pile, as a shelter for wildlife, a semi shaded corner is perfect. even a small log pile can help lots of different wildlife.
