First job is to start getting borders tidied up - using a border fork to lightly break up the soil surface pulling out any weeds. The important thing is to watch out for self-sown seedlings. You may wish to move some of these about a bit, particularly foxgloves (Digitalis) as they often need a bit of editing I think. I also like to finish deadheading daffodils. If the spent flowers are left on the energy will be diverted into making seed rather than forming next years flower bud within the bulb. Whether you snap off or snip off the developing seedheads from the stalk is up to you - everyone has their preference!
