Log Store
As the summer approaches, you should be making changes to benefit you in the autumn and winter months. That means considering what might be an issue when the weather becomes cold and damp. If you have an open fire at home, you’ll need somewhere to store the logs to keep them from getting damp. So, the best thing to do would be to head to George Hill timber merchants and pick up some timber to make a log store. This provides you with somewhere you can stash and store your wood when it’s cold and wet to protect it.
Shed
Anyone with a garden knows the importance of storage space. Sure, you could use the garage for this, but it’s not quite as convenient as using a shed. If you have a big garden, you need to get a larger shed put up. This will help give your garden a bit more presence and personality, as well as ensuring that you have ample space to store things. You can keep anything in the garden shed, and that’s the beauty of it. Of course, you’ll want to store tools and equipment for the garden in there. But, you might also think about using the shed to store possessions, and, even, to grow things! So, make sure you construct a large shed with plenty of space and you will reap the benefits.
Garden Wall
Now, you might be used to having a garden fence up around your perimeter. But, have you ever thought of going for a garden wall instead. This can add a much more rustic look to the garden, and is sometimes better for security purposes. A lot of people like to have a garden wall at the front and fencing at the back. But it depends on the gardens you have and what the layout is like for them. If you can get a garden wall put in then it would be a handy addition, and it will be very durable as well. So, you need to take a look at the prospect of a wall, and where you would put it.
Flower Garden
You need to consider the aesthetic appeal of the garden as well. This is crucial because you have to make it attractive in order to wow visitors. A well-presented and beautiful garden is the best way to attract potential buyers. It also makes the home much more pleasant to look at and gives your property an added vibrancy. That’s why a flower garden is the perfect addition to any back garden. This is a specific area you can dedicate to planting flowers of all different colours and styles. It’s the perfect place to express yourself and your personality within the confines of your garden.

Summer House
Everyone could benefit from having an area of the garden for relaxation. And, that’s what you need to use your summer house for. If you don’t have one, then you can put this at the top of your list of things to do. A summer house is an amazing addition to the garden. It adds a bit of space and gives you a serene area to relax and unwind. It’s also an excellent place for people to relax and chill out if you’re having a garden party. It just such a welcome addition to any garden and you’d be silly not to add one. Make sure you look at examples of other ones and base your design on what you already know about
This coming summer there will be plenty of opportunities to get outside in the garden. The garden is such a wonderful part of the property, and it comes alive in the summer. There are so many awesome things you can do outside in the summer months, and you need to make the most of this. Use the ideas above to come up with your own projects for the garden this summer. Don't let the lovely weather pass you by. Instead, get out there and start taking steps to improve the garden, and the property.

The flower garden in the backyard is a great idea. I love gardening, but have had problems with the chipmunks stealing my veggies the last two years. Maybe it's time I switch to flowers.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
