UK Gardeners Are Weeks Away From The 'Best' First Mow Date

Something unexpected – but welcome – has happened in the past couple of days: the sun has stayed out after I finished work, and I’ve spotted some emerging daffodils in the park. 

That can only mean one thing. Gardeners, it’s almost time to get busy again. Woodland Trust says that mowing is usually needed between March and October. 

And according to Black + Decker, who analysed weather data from the Met Office, there’s a specific date we should begin revving our mower engines: 13 March.
