New year, new machines, here are ten innovative products to make life in the garden easier

Yes, yes, yes. It’s awfully exciting. Strange transition. One moment I’m popping down to our local pub with ‘B’, my lovely and long-suffering BFF, for a couple of glasses of prosecco, sitting like brave soldiers in the garden and finding the Beast From The East icing everything not wrapped in fleecy material, the next I’m basking in unexpected sunshine my bijou garden wondering when the asparagus is going to appear.
Today the temperature is up (HOORAH) and I can’t see a cloud from where I am. Subsequently, it is worth remembering that when the sunshine really hits, we should immediately start to think about protecting ourselves. As the spring and then – all being well – the summer progresses, we will need to look after ourselves.
I have read a couple of times that the palm-readers and court jesters…sorry… weather forecasters, are warning of a SCORCHER in May and that we should be looking out for very high temperatures and sunshine.
Even lower temperatures can be hazardous, particularly when we’ve got so used to Baltic breezes and easter freezes.
So. In order to remind you that the sun does shine and bearing in mind very many people forget to protect themselves and end up looking like a well-seared joint of brisket, or striped like a lawn on account of lying down behind a fence – comic book style – here are a couple of tips on looking after yourself in your spring and summer garden.
First of all, remember it’s not just a bit of sudden sunshine you have to be aware of. Even in the shade, high temperatures can affect you and heatstroke can get you when you least expect it.
allergic to mosquitoes, ticks, gnats and all other horrid little wingy-things, use some cream or some spray and smother the outside bits well.
And that’s that for me. In the meanwhile don’t be downhearted if your mower doesn’t start the first time, your brushcutter has conked out or your ride-on has exploded. Just call us on 0345 4588 905 from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays and from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and we will put you right. We have a great team of impartial product advisers who are legends in their own lunch breaks.
