SUMMER is back, with temperatures soaring again today, so it’s time to get in the garden again.
Here we round up the best gadgets to keep it looking good.
They will help you to enjoy it while it’s scorching this week, but also when the typical cooler British weather returns.
Plus, lots of stores have offers on, so shop around.
Water
Verve LCD screen electronic water timer, £25, B&Q
THIS handy gadget lets you automate your watering system.
Fit between your tap and hose and pick the schedule that works for you.
Watering times range from one minute to four hours and it’s very easy to program.
Trim
HGE cordless hedge trimmer, £99.99, Karcher (no battery included)
KARCHER’S cordless tools are great because they all share the same rechargeable battery.
This hedge trimmer is easier to use than a petrol one and you don’t have a cord trailing.
The battery (not included in price) lasts ages and your garden will be neat and tidy in no time.
Strim
LTR cordless lawn trimmer (with battery), £119.98, Toolstation
THE sun and rain means the grass has gone wild.
This trimmer is super light and great at reaching tight spots and corners.
Again, no need to worry about chopping a cord since it’s got a battery (included in price), which lasts for ages.
Shade
Parasol, £20, B&Q
LOTS of places are sold-out but B&Q has a good range of parasols including this bargain range that comes in three bright colours – blue, orange and gold.
Keeps the sun off as you eat . . . and you can take it to the park or beach.
Heat
Heatwave patio heater, £149.99, Gtech
STAY in the garden as the temperature cools in the evening with this patio heater that is powerful without being bulky.
Attach it to your wall, plug it in and get up to six metres of heat in seconds.
Light
Solar lightbulb string lights, £12.95, Homebase
A SET of ten, they can be hung on shrubs, trellises, parasols and doorways.
No need for plugs because they charge in direct sunlight and turn on at dusk.
They won’t last all night but well after bedtime.
Robot lawnmower
Worx Landroid S300 cordless robotic lawnmower, £498, B&Q
PUT your feet up and let this mower do the work for you.
You run a wire around your lawn so it knows where to mow and once that’s done it’s completely automated.
Suitable for lawns up to 300 square metres, it will mow often and bit by bit to keep your lawn looking great.
Starts mowing at a press of a button.
BBQ
Texas oil drum charcoal BBQ, £50, Homebase
NEED a solid barbecue that can handle the hungriest of families?
This bad boy can cook up to 20 burgers at a time.
The steel hood means it is great for roasting and baking as well.
Drink
Keter cool bar, £88.99, ManoMano
THIS garden cocktail table is really cool, literally.
It doubles as a handy cooler to fill with ice and chill your drinks.
Just raise the lid to use it as a tabletop at your next BBQ.
