Hi there!

I’ll be looking after the newsletter this week and next while Jeff takes a well-earned break.

With the first hints of sunshine and spring blooms starting to appear, many of us are turning our attention back to our gardens. With that in mind, our expert has been exploring Asda’s charming range of garden furniture, with pieces starting from just £20. From stylish rattan sofas to eye-catching statement designs, there are plenty of budget-friendly finds to help refresh your outdoor space without overspending.

However, if your current garden furniture is in need of a spruce up, we’ve also reviewed the 10 best pressure washers to tackle built-up dirt and grime – perfect for patios, decking, furniture and more.

Of course, spring weather can be a little unpredictable. If you’re keen to make the most of your garden in the evening, we’ve put the best patio heaters to the test to help you stay warm and comfortable outdoors. For those finishing touches before guests arrive, John Lewis’s garden accessories and décor are a great way to add a little extra flair to your setup.

To keep everything looking its best, our expert has also tested top-rated lawnmowers that deliver reliable results. Or, if you’d rather put your feet up, we’ve rounded up the best robot lawn mowers to do the hard work for you while you relax – G&T, anyone?

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, have a wonderful one – and here’s hoping for some sunshine!

What to plant in April for a thriving garden

Whether you’re a seasoned grower or a complete beginner, seed-sowing is something anyone can get started with. But timing is key: many crops are guided by the calendar, so knowing exactly what to plant in April will set you up for success from the outset.

Towels that will make bath-time feel like a spa

Towels are an easy product to overlook when you’re shopping for home essentials, but there’s nothing quite like that hotel feeling every time you step out of the shower.

Keep your home cool with a portable air conditioner

While wall-mounted air conditioning units are an option, they’re expensive to install and often not used enough throughout the year to make that cost worthwhile, so portable models tend to be the more practical choice.
