Lots of vegetable seeds can be sown outside. Plant out Sweetpeas.

• Prune early flowering shrubs immediately after flowering e.g. Forsythia, Spiraea Arguta
• Plant out Sweet Peas
• Re-seed bare patches in lawn
• Combined fertiliser and weedkiller can be applied to lawns
• Dead head daffodils as soon as flowers fade and apply a general fertiliser
