Summer’s finally here! No wait, it’s gone again, no it’s here! It’s finally starting properly! Wait, no, that was just a sunny spell… okay how about now? No, too soon. My point is, summer is going to start any second now and when it does you want to be ready, and that means it’s time to get out in the garden and start soaking up the sun with a few close friends, relatives, acquaintances and anyone you know who’s going to bring beer.
So to make sure that your garden party goes off with a bang, here are a few essential hints.

No Fireworks Tonight, Darling
30 October 2012 - Joanna Hazelton
No, it can’t be. Not that time of year again already. It only feels like yesterday I was frolicking through fields picking buttercups….
But there really is no escaping it now and I have to face the fact that the clocks go back soon. Although an extra hour in bed in the morning will be welcome. Ah, yes, we have kids, that’s not going to happen.
Then before we know it, we’ll be carving pumpkins, trick or treating, toasting (or is it burning?) marshmallows on the bonfire, scorching fingers on sparklers and attempting to keep our fireworks vertical and from not flying horizontally through our fence into the neighbours’ garden (my husband has been banned from lighting a firework ever again!).

The dirty dozen: how we reclaimed our garden
22 May 2012 - Bruce Hazelton
OK, I’ll be honest, I’ve not been the greatest ambassador for the garden industry; my own garden has been somewhat neglected for the last decade. Since having children my wife and I have hardly bothered with it and it’s been rather overrun by children’s toys, weeds and creepers.
Having put in a bit of time, effort and a splash of cash, even though we’re far from finished, I thought I’d share with you some of the very simple things that have transformed our own little patch of England.
