Garden

Tidying up your garden before winter really sets in

The nights are certainly drawing in quicker and the cold is setting in, meaning winter is well on its way. Gardens can be enjoyed all year round but often during the winter months we tend not to venture out there as much.

Before the bad weather sets in too much it is important to try and get some time to give the garden a once over. You should try and give the lawn a cut if possible although you need to try and do this when the weather has been dry which can be hard work. If you have garden toys outside that can be stored away then it is a good idea to do this as often if they are left out in the rain and frost they can become damaged or broken. Bigger toys such as slides and trampolines may be able to be covered over if they cannot be stored away.

All furniture again should ideally be covered or bought in to a shed or garage. This will prolong the life of them and stop them from perishing. You can often buy large storage containers that can be left outside that are ideal for storing cushions from outdoor furniture in. These can be extremely useful and often cost around £50.
