It's time to give your garden some TLC. Summer will be here before we know it, it's time to make your garden the best room in the house! We've picked out a few top tips from Gardeners' World for the month of May but for a barrow load of advice and a heap of handy hints head to their website.

~ Plant up your hanging baskets, but keep them warm indoors for a little longer whilst they establish.

~ Tie in the new shoots of climbing plants, including wisteria and honeysuckle, to their supports. Tie in tomatoes, cucumbers and aubergines to canes as they grow.

~ Earth up potatoes, covering the shoots with soil as they appear.

~ Start sowing French and runner beans which can go directly outside now the weather is warmer.

~ Open the greenhouse door on warm days, but close it in the evening as the nights can still get cold.

~ Apply liquid feed to spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils to encourage a good display next year.

We're pleased to tell you we have tickets for a special outdoor edition of BBC Gardeners' World Live which, this year, will be held in August and features the BBC Good Food Market and the new My Gardeners' World Stage.
