Burning the candle both ends

I am so pleased that the weather has turned hot again and with it has brought the inevitable BBQ. There is nothing like sitting out in the open air whilst eating a lovely meal cooked slowly over charcoal.

We have our table under a mature Lime tree and it makes for the perfect ambiance. However, there was the slightest of breeze last night and the candles, whilst a good idea at the time, kept blowing out.

We ended up putting the candles into small jam jars which works a treat but a little messy and now we are three jars less (we could clean them up but it will not be easy) for the plum jam that Donna intends to make from the windfalls in the plum orchard nearby.

Early learning garden centre for children

It has been a hard week at work and you are all looking forward to a restful weekend spent pottering around the garden. Only one thing to get in the way - the children.

There is not a lot worse than the kids kicking their heels in boredom and pestering you to go to the burger bar, theme park or cinema whilst you only have your sights set on sowing the next vegetable crop or mowing the lawn.

Why not consider getting your kids involved and set them up with a little corner of the garden or vegetable patch so that they can be involved and learn at an early age about the fun that can be had watching and helping nature bear fruit or climax in a chaotic fusion of colours.

The Garden Centre

I have teamed up with garden supplier Harrod Horticulture to bring you what I think are some of the best quality garden items on the market.

I have added and removed endless affiliate schemes here on Landscape Juice and up until now I have not found one that fits with my own desire for quality. I have always wanted to be a good landscaper, a good designer and a good gardener and now I have the opportunity to become a good supplier.

By joining up with Harrod Horticulture it gives me the chance to link into products that I feel are right for YOU! I know, in today's world of clever marketing we can all buy a product that looks good in a picture but has fallen to bits soon after you start using it.

Judging by my extensive research the guys and girls at Harrod Horticulture price themselves on providing the best innovative products at the right price and I am happy to promote them.
