Good weather isn’t guaranteed, but the garden still needs looking after. Here are 4 excellent tips to help with sorting your garden up, so you can enjoy it as much as possible this summer.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we cannot rely on any good\nweather lasting, what we can do is prepare our garden for the possibility of a\ndry or even sunny day. Perhaps you haven’t had time to sort your garden out\nyet, maybe just quickly popping the barbeque on during the few good days.\nYou’re not alone, most people are the same. In a climate where spending time\noutside looks unlikely most of the time, the garden is certainly a low\npriority! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, if you do leave your\ngarden it will inevitably overgrow, furniture will get more faded and it will\nbecome more difficult to manage, so it’s always a good time to sort it out to\nenjoy when the sun comes out, and to avoid it becoming an expensive\nrefurbishment job by it becoming seriously neglected. And who knows, you might\neven be encouraged to spend more time outside if the garden looks beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some key tips to help you\nget your garden straight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackle The Shed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your shed is a wonderful piece of\nstorage you should be using. The problem is it is so easy to stick everything\nand anything in there. When we do this, we end up with a shed full of clutter,\nand eventually a garden full of clutter as well because there’s no storage\nleft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving your shed a clean seasonally\nis a good habit to get into to avoid it becoming a useless building full of\nclutter. Get rid of any rubbish, try to create new storage solutions within it\n(shelves, boxes etc), pop anything you use all the time near the front\n(lawnmower etc) and for items in there you don’t need all the time, consider a personal self\nstorage unit<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackle The Plants & Lawn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The plants and lawn are the parts\nthat will become overgrown and messy if you don’t tend to them regularly. In\nsummer your lawn will start to grow back almost as soon as you mow it, which is\nfrustrating, but won’t stop happening by you being frustrated at it\n(unfortunately!). So it is a good idea to mow it every couple of weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plants should be pruned and cut\nback as per their individual needs. Tools you use to tend your plants and lawn\ncould be housed in self storage if you know when you are going to use them, and\nstruggle to house them comfortably in your own storage space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Rid Of Clutter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

General clutter in the garden can make it look ugly, and cause suffocation of any plants or grass underneath. Sorting your garden requires a complete spring clean: getting rid of unused toys or equipment, storing old plant-pots in the shed, and possibly move any seasonal items you won’t need until winter in a cheap self-storage unit (you can compare self-storage<\/a> prices to get the best deal near you). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spruce Up Items You Do Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anything you will be using like\nsports equipment, trampolines, garden furniture or the barbeque, you should\nmaintain and prepare for use. Give your furniture a change of cushions,\nconsider making a sheltered area for the decking so it is useful in all\nweathers, wipe down the children’s toys, check the barbeque is safe and give it\na good clean. You might even want to buy a few new things to freshen the place\nup – pot plants, a new parasol – just a few bits to make the area ‘new’ and\nexciting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve freshened the place up, sorting your garden will all feel worth it and you’ll be dying to use it! Fingers crossed for sunshine! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
