You may not get the desired blooming results if you get back in the garden now, an expert claims.
Gardening enthusiasts may be eager to get out and start tending to their outdoor spaces as the weather begins to warm up - but a top horticulturist has warned that starting too early could be bad news.
He explained that seeds and plants in February, March, and sometimes even April are "sluggish", meaning you won't see beautiful blooms if you're active in the garden during these months, reports the Mirror. Guy added: "It is fun to chance some early sowing and planting, but there is not as much to gain as some think, and getting ready for mid to late spring is time better used."
Expounding on the perils of mowing a wet lawn, he specified: "While regular cutting of your lawn is essential for its general health, mowing while wet is counterproductive. When grass is wet, it doesn't stand up straight and therefore it's impossible to get an even cut.
