With a mini-heatwave and temperatures as warm as Madrid expected across Britain by midweek, there couldn't be a more perfect time to roll up your gardening sleeves.
After a record amount of rainfall at the start of the year, green-fingered Brits will certainly be hoping to spruce up their lawns and shrubs, while also basking in the long-awaited sunshine.
The warmest conditions are expected on Wednesday, with 20C (68F) in parts of Wales and western England and 19C (66F) as far north as Manchester.
It comes after England was 70 per cent wetter than the average last month, while the UK experienced its rainiest start to the year since 1908.
Yet while gardening lovers may be hopeful to achieve a vibrant and bright garden over the coming days, the glorious weather is sadly set to be short-lived: with temperatures dropping back to 12 degrees and rainfall by Monday.
So, how can you ensure you make the most of the brief sunshine while also preventing any lasting damage to your beloved garden from the rainfall?
Fortunately, Liam Cleary, gardening expert at Old Railway Line Garden Centre, is on hand to share five essential tips to ensure that your labour of love gets the sun-kissed makeover it deserves this week.
He told The Daily Mail: 'With the UK finally seeing some warm weather, it is a great chance to make the most of it because sunny spells like this do not come around very often.
'A little sun can make a huge difference to your garden, helping plants grow strong, flowers bloom, and vegetables ripen. Taking advantage of these warmer days now means your garden will be thriving in the summer months.'
1. Water your plants - and pay keen attention to the time of day
As the warm weather comes in, Mr Cleary said that is essential to ensure that everyone waters their plants 'properly'.
The main reason why? According to the esteemed expert, it is to avoid them from dying out during the sudden and unexpected heat after such a wet winter.
He added: 'Try to do it early in the morning or later in the evening so that the water can soak in fully rather than dry out instantly.'
2. Ensure your soil and borders are tidy
The warmer weather also offers a perfect opportunity for green-fingered individuals to 'tidy up your soil and borders'.
'Give your beds a quick turn, add some compost, and put on a layer of mulch,' the expert suggested.
'This helps keep everything moist and gives your flowers and vegetables a strong start for summer,' he advised.
3. Give your spring flowers and taller plants some extra care
For those with spring flowers, Mr Cleary suggests utilising this week by 'deadheading them and tidying up perennials to encourage new growth and keep your borders looking full and fresh'.
As an additional step, he suggested: 'Don't forget to stake the taller plants so they do not flop over when the breeze picks up'.
4. Start sowing your summer crops and feed your lawn
If you are a keen vegetable grower, then the rising temperatures this week offer an 'ideal' opportunity to begin 'sowing summer crops such as beans, courgettes and sweetcorn,' according to Mr Cleary.
Yet even for those green-fingered individuals with just a simple lawn, the work to your beloved garden should not stop there.
'Give your lawn and borders a feed as well, because plants respond really well to extra nourishment when the sun is out,' he added.
5. Refresh your garden pots and containers
To keep your garden looking fresh and tidy, pots and containers should also be 'refreshed with some seasonal bedding' while Mr Cleary also suggests 'thinking about how you arrange your garden'.
'Move plants to sunnier spots, give climbers some support, and create a bit of shade for delicate plants,' he added.
'It's all about spending a little time planning and looking after your garden now so that by the time summer properly arrives, your garden will not only survive the sun but look amazing.'
Mr Cleary's essential tips and tricks to help your garden thrive during the mini-heatwave comes as the UK is set to significantly heaten up after a rather damp and dreary start to the year.
Dan Harris, chief forecaster at the Met Office, previously told The Daily Mail: 'Wednesday looks likely to be the warmest day of the week for many, with high pressure dominant.
'The warmest spots are likely to be in parts of west Wales and western England, where under sunny skies, 18-19C (64-66F), possibly even 20C (68F) is on the cards.'
He added: 'This is due to the additional boost expected from the passage of east to south-easterly winds over areas of higher ground, known as the Foehn effect.'
The warmest spots could see temperatures on a par with the Spanish capital, where 20C (68F) is also forecast.
