Our season of actually enjoying our backyards is sadly short. Often, by the time we get around to pulling together our outdoor spaces, we nix the idea because we realize that there’s not a lot of warm weather left. But with early panning and prepping, we can make every one of those days count! This year, readiness for grilling outdoors with flavoured wood, enjoying whimsical solar lights or swinging in a hammock chair can be achieved in time for that sunnier period.
