We're still a few weeks out from the official start of spring, but that hasn't stopped us from dreaming about sunny days spent lying out in our garden. Nor, for that matter, has it stopped us from curating a pretty hefty basket of outdoor furniture.
I don't need any rhyme or reason to begin my summertime garden prep, but I do often find myself wondering when exactly is the optimal time to start buying all the best garden furniture I've been eyeing. Buy too soon, and they'll spend months under wraps, getting soggy in the never-ending winter rain, but wait too long, and suddenly the summer has passed you by before they even arrive at your home.
