"These eco-friendly beauties automatically turn on at dusk, creating a warm, enchanting glow that'll transform your outdoor space into a cosy haven." Home Bargains is also selling Firefly Rattan String Solar Lights for just £7.99 for a pack of 10, making each light just 79p. Shoppers urged 'not to blink' and get their hands on Home Bargains garden essential that sold out fast last time and it makes your garden extra cute - TikTok homebargainsofficialuk A product description reads: "Featuring 10 warm white LED lights nestled in beautiful rattan designs, these lights create a charming atmosphere in your garden, patio, or yard. "With a rechargeable battery included, they are easy to install and automatically turn on at dusk, offering a soft, inviting glow. "Simply place them in the sun to charge during the day and enjoy their gentle light as the evening falls. "Perfect for adding a touch of warmth and style to any outdoor setting!" 5 ways to save money in your garden Garden design experts at Lighting Legends have revealed the ways you can lower gardening costs. 1. Install a water butt Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months. 2. Use solar powered or LED lighting Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They're easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient. 3. Grow your own salad and vegetables Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow. 4. Upcycle waste and rubbish Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless. 5. Start composting Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers. The rattan lights are a fraction of the price of a similar product sold at Argos for £25." Savvy shoppers have also been going wild lately, as Home Bargains dropped yet another new version of their viral hot air balloon solar lights. Not only is the new purse-friendly buy 'so pretty', but it's sure to look amazing in your garden at night. Shoppers can now nab the new Firefly Hot Air Balloon Spiral Solar Light for less than £4 - which features the iconic hot air balloon alongside a stunning spiral feature. This bargain buy, which is priced at just £3.99, will brighten up your garden and leave your eagle-eyed neighbours gobsmacked.

According to manufacturers, the "vibrant" cushion helps to add a "splash of summer" to your garden. They described the decor item as "perfect for lounging in the sun and brightening up your garden furniture." The tropical design adds a dash of colour to your space, brightening your outdoor furniture. And as well as making your time lounging in the sun more comfortable, these cushions can also level up your patio setup. May gardening jobs The Sun's Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the tasks you need to crack on with in May. GARDEN growth can go from nought to ninety in May, depending on the weather. The last UK frosts are generally seen at the beginning of the month, so all of a sudden there's so much more to do and grow. Plant out dahlia tubers It's a joy to finally plant out your dahlia tubers. Remember how big they can get - and space accordingly - anything up to half a metre apart. It's a good idea to put your support stakes in now instead of trying to work around them. And make sure you include lots of well rotted manure or decent compost to feed it and then mulch to keep it moist and suppress weeds. They generally start blooming in July. Final feed to Spring flowers You can give a cheeky feed to all your remaining tulips and daffodils. Although the majority of bulbs aren't guaranteed to come back year after year any more, as long as you've left them to die back naturally there's a good chance they'll have stored enough energy to come back again. Tomato feed is fine. Tie up climbers Your clematis, honeysuckle and rambling roses should be well on their way by now - try to use plastic free string to tie them back into their support, or tuck them round each other to make sure they don't sprout off in crazy directions. Feed the lawn It's not too late to give your lawn a good feed. Whether you use granular or liquid, it can give it a good boost to see it through the harsher summer months. While mowing, don't go too low with your cut length yet and never take more than a third off the grass height. Get creative It's also time to get creative with hanging baskets and pots. Trailing pelargoniums, which a lot of people call geraniums, and Begonias are a good, low cost way of getting lovely returning blooms throughout the summer in your baskets. And pots can be planted with spring bulbs. Don't forget the greenhouse ! Give your greenhouse a good tidy and clean the glass inside and out. The improved light will help plants grow quicker inside and tidying is good for the soul. You can just use a household white wine vinegar and water solution - or even neat if you're feeling spendy - which gives a really good shine.
