GARDEN growth can go from nought to ninety in May, depending on the weather. The last UK frosts are generally seen at the beginning of the month, so all of a sudden there's so much more to do and grow. Plant out dahlia tubers It's a joy to finally plant out your dahlia tubers. Remember how big they can get - and space accordingly - anything up to half a metre apart. It's a good idea to put your support stakes in now instead of trying to work around them. And make sure you include lots of well rotted manure or decent compost to feed it and then mulch to keep it moist and suppress weeds. They generally start blooming in July. Final feed to Spring flowers You can give a cheeky feed to all your remaining tulips and daffodils. Although the majority of bulbs aren't guaranteed to come back year after year any more, as long as you've left them to die back naturally there's a good chance they'll have stored enough energy to come back again. Tomato feed is fine. Tie up climbers Your clematis, honeysuckle and rambling roses should be well on their way by now - try to use plastic free string to tie them back into their support, or tuck them round each other to make sure they don't sprout off in crazy directions. Feed the lawn It's not too late to give your lawn a good feed. Whether you use granular or liquid, it can give it a good boost to see it through the harsher summer months. While mowing, don't go too low with your cut length yet and never take more than a third off the grass height. Get creative It's also time to get creative with hanging baskets and pots. Trailing pelargoniums, which a lot of people call geraniums, and Begonias are a good, low cost way of getting lovely returning blooms throughout the summer in your baskets. And pots can be planted with spring bulbs. Don't forget the greenhouse! Give your greenhouse a good tidy and clean the glass inside and out. The improved light will help plants grow quicker inside and tidying is good for the soul. You can just use a household white wine vinegar and water solution - or even neat if you're feeling spendy - which gives a really good shine. It works as a hot-air blower which gets three jobs done as one single gadget. On the Aldi website it states: "Grab yourself a multi-functional hot-air blower which performs as a weeder, BBQ lighter and hot air gun for removing paint and varnish to conquer all those garden tasks this year. For those looking for a slightly swankier version, B&Q has a weed killer on their site for £38.99. This Electric Weed Burner & Killer heats up air and channels it onto unwanted shrubs.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Lidl shoppers can pick up the Parkside Electric Lawn Trimmer from Thursday, May 15 Credit: Lidl 3 The Universal GrassCut 18V-26-500 is currently available from Bosch for £100 Credit: If you're looking for a way to perfect a clean and manicured lawn, this garden item is said to be worth the investment. Lidl is currently selling the Parkside Electric Lawn Trimmer for just £24.99. And this handy buy is even cheaper for Lidl Plus app users, at just £19.99. It is designed for "quick and clean lawn trimming", even in hard-to-reach areas. With a 300W motor, the gadget features line spools that can be changed without tools. It also includes a protective hood with a trimmer line cutter, as well as an ergonomic handle. The gadget has an integrated power cable strain relief for the 10 metre power cable.

Bosch's Universal GrassCut 18V-26-500 is currently available for £100. B&M shoppers are giving their gardens a summer glow up with £12 bargain This buy is described as "flexible and comfortable" with a telescopic height adjustment. However, this item has a lower wattage than the Lidl gadget, meaning it may not be as ideal for larger gardens. The tilting head guarantees precise trimming under benches and hard-to-reach spots, and helps to protect your flowerbeds. Unlike the Lidl buy, this gadget is fully cordless, making it easier to manage. According to manufacturers, the battery life on this buy has the capacity to trim the edges of up to six tennis courts. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. Remember to compare prices It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative. Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price. Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal. A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for.
