Seasonal Projects - Summer

As Summer is now looking to be next weekend, we are probably too late to encourage you to do a large landscaping project but you may have time to:

 * Clear some space, ideally with a bit of shade. Find a chair or bench, cover with rugs and cushions and place near a table.
* Find the pots that you planted up earlier in the year, sigh heavily when you notice that you forgot to water / the slugs have dined on them and realise that you need to nip to the garden centre to buy something to replace them with. Return with a suspiciously artificial looking chilli pepper plant - it was the only thing that they had left.
* Level things up so that nothing wobbles - nothing like motion sickness to spoil a lazy sunny afternoon.
* In touch with both of your X chromosomes? Then get some fairy lights, tea lights and scented candles and scatter artfully. Use the pepper plant to inspire a Mexican theme.
* More in touch with your Y chromosome? Then manfully drag across a bucket and fill with ice and scatter beer cans artfully. Use the chillies in the 'man or mouse' competition.
* Take a photo to remind you of Summer 13
If you need help with tables, chairs, benches, troughs or pots; we have some in our yard available for this weekend.
