Another year and hopefully we gardeners’ approach 2026 with a sense of optimism!

An interesting year so far – 2025! The beginning of the year through to early spring was grey and cold. Not good conditions for early sowings, even in the greenhouse!

Then suddenly in mid-April the weather changed and the sun appeared and stayed from the spring through early summer!

Ah, July—long sunny days and lush green lawns!

I’m Monty, your Mountfield lawn care buddy, here to help you keep that lawn looking stunning while you enjoy summer garden parties and lazy afternoons.

June is upon us already! It’s hard to believe six months of the year has already gone!

Spring began wet and then the weather turned dry with blue skies, albeit with cold northerly winds, particularly in the south west! May then was mainly dry with warm temperatures.

Summer is here, and your lawn is ready to shine!

I’m Monty, here with all the advice you need to keep that grass green and gorgeous throughout the sunny season.

May is with us, the days are getting warmer and those cold easterly winds have departed.

A word of caution however. There is still time for a late spring frost, so be careful about ‘hardening off’ delicate annual plants outside.

The garden is buzzing with life in May, and your lawn should be too!

I’m Monty, your friendly lawn care expert, and I’m here to help you keep your grass looking glorious.

April is with us, and as the daylength increases, so does the light intensity, the sun has real warmth, all signs that spring is with us at last!
