The weather is heating up just in time for the Bank Holiday, making it the perfect time to finally get those outdoor jobs completed!
To save you time, we've rounded up some of our favourite outdoor essentials to make this long weekend a productive one!
Whether you're washing the car for a long weekend away, cleaning up the patio, or getting the garden furniture ready for it's first use of the year, a pressure washer can speed up the job, and give amazing results! There's loads on the market, but we've picked out this Kärcher K 3 Classic Home pressure washer*. With a range of attachments, and 94% positive reviews out of 10,000, this is a great option for getting a variety of jobs done and knowing it won't let you down.
We've not had much sun yet this year, and if you have a lawn, then you've probably not had many chances to mow it! To get the perfect finish, try the Flymo SimpliMow 320V Wheeled Electric Lawnmower*. This mower is lightweight and easy to maneuver, and has a 32cm cutting width with adjustable cutting height. The 30-litre grass box has a convenient window, so you can easily see when it's ready to empty.
For the perfect finish, there's also a matching Flymo Contour 500E Electric Grass Trimmer and Edger*, which can get into those places the mower can't, and complete those finishing touches for immaculate grass without damaging flower beds.
May is the perfect time to plant hanging baskets for them to be in flower by summer. There are so many styles of hanging baskets to choose from, depending on your outdoor space, but these self-watering hanging baskets* caught our eye! A plain plastic finish makes them a striking addition to a space, with black, green, and white available depending on your style. The self-watering system also means they can be left alone for 2 weeks, so perfect for if you're going on holiday, or if you have been known to forget to water!
If you've no big projects to tackle this weekend, but would like to spend some time outdoors, it's a great time of year for tidying up flower beds, putting in new bedding plants, and potting out seedlings. We've found this very cute 12 piece garden tools set*, which comes in a flower print and a handy carry case. A cute yet practical treat for yourself, but also a great gift!
Once you're handywork is complete, get summer ready with some garden lighting!
These solar powered string lights* are a great addition to an outdoor space you'd like to enjoy in the evening. Perfect for Gazebos and gardens a like, these lights charge in 6-8 hours in sunlight and are waterproof - they can also be charged via USB if we get a typical British Summer!
We also love these shepherd crook hooks*, which are a timeless addition to gardens. These can be used to mount lighting, bird feeders and hanging baskets, and are ideal for a country garden!
