We've finally been enjoying some pretty consistent warm, summery weather – and it looks like it could be here to stay.
As a result, green-fingered enthusiasts and gardening professionals alike will undoubtedly be hard at work with their tools already.
For those who are still thinking of planting some new flowers, lilies could be the perfect choice, as some of them can easily be planted in the summer.
In fact, they are relatively straightforward plants to maintain – and professional gardener, writer and television presenter Sarah Raven claimed they are easy to grow when you know how.
Writing in an article for the Daily Telegraph, she said: "Whether in the ground or in a pot, plant bulbs at least six inches deep and add grit."
To ensure your soil is in the best possible condition before planting, why not give it a once-over with a cultivator or tiller?
