I've only just brought this set from Robert Dyas (UK), haven't used it, need a pvc type cover for it. However, will it be too late to take of this hardwood, now its been wet or can i still treat it & cover it when the weather is dry!! Typical british weather!
what i meant to say will it be harder to take care of this type of hardwood now its been soaking wet

Your furniture will be fine, cover it over as soon as possible so it doesn't get any wetter, if you can move it into a garage or shed and let it dry slowly (If it dries too quickly you may get small cracks). Once it has dried out makes sure the wood is clean by rubbing down with wire wool and white spirit, then give it a couple of coats of teak oil. This will bring back its colour and help keep it waterproof in future. You will need to reapply the teak oil every year (Autumn) or twice a year if left out in the winter (Spring and Autumn)...

There is an application you can use called knotting, you paint it on the bare wood in the area of the knot. It is like a varnish and it seals the knots in the wood and stops them leaking sap. Painters used it before painting new wooden frames.

I am looking for an attractive, sturdy easy to clean & look after table & chairs for my garden. (possibly one thats seats 6 people) However, do not want to spend a fortune, can anyone recommended where i should go for this, i.e Argos, Robert Dyas etc I have never brought garden furniture before, so need to know whats good & whats not! Thanks

Plastic doesn't wear too well. My favourite garden furniture is the wooden type. It lasts for years if you apply some wood oil to it once a year & it looks lovely. It can be expensive, but I got my set from my nearest IKEA store (www.ikea.co.uk) & it was cheaper than some plastic sets I've seen in garden centres etc!

I don't have a bird table in the garden. I buy lots off seeds and other bird food and just throw it on the lawn.......also, small bits off cat food serial .....is this harmful in any way to the birds and pidgeons! The magpies seem quite happy, but they are supposed to be quite intelligent so should know if it's OK for them!

There is nothing really wrong for the birds if you do that. But, if your lawn is treated with chemicals they might catch some grass in their mouths and eat it and then it could be fatal. Also, throwing seeds on the grass could attract Rats and Mice and that is disease spreading so I am sure you do not want that. Lastly, some of those seeds could grow into the plant that they are from. I have done this once before. Don't bother throwing the cat stuff on the floor as the birds are quite happy with the seeds you are feeding them.

To be honest, I would just buy a bird table and a few bird hoppers, a water hopper and a bird bath and all your troubles will be over and it is much healthier for you and your birds!
