The return of longer and drier days has seen plenty of jobs to catch up on in the garden, from cleaning out the birdbaths and bird feeders to clearing the vast amount of sticks fallen from nearby trees, deposited during winter storms and mowing the lawn back into some kind of shape. (I always check to see if a frost is due overnight and don't cut if it is.) The return of blossom, daisies, dandelions, early flowers like wallflower, rosemary, wood violet, primrose and pulmonaria is good news for bees and insects. Look out for butterflies like brimstone and skipper emerging from hibernation.
