,Your summer garden allows you to have fresh vegetables and herbs. For those who love to potter about the garden, summer is a good time to plan your own garden.

You can clean with sprays meant especially for this, or scrub the area with a stiff brush. You should repair the missing mortar between slabs too.
Clean your garden furniture
Clean thoroughly your garden furniture – all the resin, metal and rattan tables and chairs with soapy water (warm). They will look clean and fresh and inviting, allowing you to spend a few hours in the sun.

You can treat them with teak oil when your furniture is dry completely, so this should be done at a later time.
Fix fences and trellises
