How to style up your garden for a summer party
It's the season for hosting outdoors. Google searches for 'garden party' have surged by 128 per cent in the last three months, and more than half of us use our gardens for hosting, according to a new report by the furniture company Barker & Stonehouse. But what to do if you've sent out the invitations and then realised, on surveying your back garden, that it's not up to scratch? This is the situation I found myself in recently ahead of a birthday party I was planning. But although we may all have a long list of jobs we'd like to do outdoors, I found it's possible to transform your garden quite quickly with a few expert tips, by repurposing things you already have, and the odd judicious purchase. Set the scene The first step is a tidy-up: those basic jobs like mowing the lawn, sweeping the patio, deadheading the roses and trimming any large hedges make the garden look instantly more cared for. I had already gone a step further: sick of the sight of my lawn several weeks before, I dug it up and laid a new turf. Any equipment needs to be put away: I had all my exercise equipment scattered across the patio, so I bought a neat wooden storage unit from Garden Trading to stow it away.

Influencer finds NFL legend Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson's cockroach-infested abandoned storage unit
A storage unit belonging to Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson has been purchased by an online influencer, who has now revealed a treasure trove of valuables, as well as a few cockroaches. Known online as Prieto Hunters, the TikTok and YouTube star is one of a growing number of media personalities buying abandoned storage units, typically for a few hundred dollars. The host claims to have bid $890 to secure this unit, and while the price hasn't been confirmed, Johnson has acknowledged its contents did previously belong to him. Responding to a post about the storage unit discovery, Johnson wrote on X: 'I don't want all that old a** s***.' The storage unit's location isn't revealed, but the former Cincinnati Bengals receiver and popular podcaster has been living in southern California. And that could explain the condition of the storage unit, which appeared sweltering judging by the sweaty host and flock of cockroaches rummaging around. Pests aside, the unit contained one four-figure item after another, from a reversable mink vest roughly estimated to be worth $5,000, to autographed memorabilia, including a jersey from Johnson's late teammate, Chris Henry. The host was particularly impressed with Johnson's shoe collection, which included several pricey Yves Saint Laurent pairs, as well as a few less-desirable items. 'Tommy Hilfiger,' the host said as he pulled out one unwanted pair. 'No thank you.' One yellow pair of soccer cleats appeared to be signed by Brazilian legend Ronaldinho. 'You think that's Ronaldinho?' the host asked his cameraperson. 'We're gonna have to preserve these.' Perhaps the strangest item in the collection was a painting of nude women tongue kissing while one groped the other's chest. 'Interesting painting,' the host commented. Some of the items may have be valueless, like a framed photo of Johnson riding a bull. Other memorabilia, such as autographed helmets and jerseys, could be difficult to price until everything is authenticated. And then there were all the designer clothing and collectible guitars, all of which is likely worth thousands each. 'We might come up in the unit,' the influencer told his cameraperson.
