NEVER wear skirts in the wind! Everyone knows this surely?

Not me! I had the most embarrassing moment yesterday – I decided to wear my brand new skirt I had bought at the weekend and I thought it was going to be a nice day so I didn’t put tights on.

It was a tight pencil skirt – instead it was one of the summery flowing ones. You probably know where my story is going! But I was just walking up onto the platform to get the train and boom!

An unexpected wind picked up the back of my skirt and woosh it went straight up showing my knickers to everyone else waiting to get on their train! To top it off someone wolf whistled! So embarrassing!

When making a hanging baskets you first need to think about what flowers to use.

There are a lots of different types that can be used in a hanging baskets including small evergreen shrubs and cheerful annuals but the best thing to remember is to stick to a colour scheme.

What you first need to do is cover the inside with a liner and then prepare the compost for the basket. Put the basket into a pot to keep it steady.

Put a small layer of compose at the bottom and then select the plants to go in. First put the ones in that will be around the edge and then move inwards. Then carefully place more compost on top and water well.

Instead of having big and ugly Bird Tables in your garden, how about something a little more conspicuous?

These flower-beds pots are a brilliant way to feed the birds and brighten up your garden. They come in a pack of three so you can place them all over the garden.

I think they are wonderful as keeps wildlife coming into your garden and also looks natural. My kids love them and it also teaches them the importance of keeping the bird population thriving!
