August is one of those months where everything comes together. The garden’s in full bloom, evenings are long and lovely, and the house is filled with the little day-to-day tasks that keep everything running smoothly. Whether you’re sprucing up your home, harvesting veggies, or lighting up your garden for late summer evenings, now’s the time to enjoy it all.
At Lenehans.ie, we have plenty of products to help make your life easier — indoors and outdoors — so let’s dive into some simple jobs to keep your home and garden looking fabulous this month.
End-of-Summer Harvest & Garden Touch-Ups
If you’ve been nurturing a veg patch, now’s your moment. August is peak season for homegrown heroes like tomatoes, courgettes, runner beans, carrots, and more. Clear out what’s ready and, if you have space, re-sow quick-growing crops like lettuce and radishes — easy jobs that’ll reward you in no time.
Don’t forget to water! Dry spells can quickly ruin all that hard work, so using a hose set or watering can from Lenehans.ie makes the daily watering routine quicker and easier.
Tip: A light prune with good quality garden shears will keep fruit bushes and shrubs in shape after harvesting.
Patio, Balcony & Indoor Plants — Keep Them Happy!
It’s not just the garden beds that need love. Your pots, containers, and indoor plants are all at their peak right now. Daily watering (especially in smaller pots) is essential, and a regular feed with a liquid plant food will keep them lush and healthy.
And while you’re caring for your plants, take a moment to refresh your outdoor decor. A few new planters, garden ornaments, or decorative solar lights from Lenehans.ie can give your patio or balcony a fresh, charming look without spending a fortune.
Small Home Fixes That Make a Big Difference
August is also a perfect month to tackle those niggling household jobs you’ve been putting off.
Is the tap dripping? A quick fix with the right plumbing tools saves bigger headaches later.
Need extra storage? Check out practical shelving units to get clutter under control.
Cracks in the wall or loose fittings? Simple repairs using DIY tools and fixings will freshen up your living spaces.
All these practical bits and pieces are just a click away at Lenehans.ie — no need to spend your weekend hunting around!
Light Up Your Evenings with Solar Magic
As daylight lingers into the evening, adding solar lights to your garden or patio creates a cosy, welcoming vibe. Whether you want pathway markers, wall-mounted lights, or pretty string lights, they’re an easy way to transform your outdoor space without wiring or fuss.

Indoor Decor Touch-Ups
Why stop at the garden? Little changes indoors can also freshen up your home for the season:
Add stylish storage baskets to tidy up living spaces.
Update your kitchen gadgets for easier meal prep.
Refresh soft furnishings with new cushions or throws for a seasonal look.
All these home essentials are easy to find in our Housewares section on Lenehans.ie — small updates, big impact.
Plan for Next Year — Indoors & Out
August is a great time to take stock. What worked in the garden? Which household gadgets or storage solutions made life easier? Take notes and think ahead to what you’ll need for next year.
Pro tip: Snap photos of your garden, home projects, or even wishlist items — they’ll come in handy when it’s time to plan next season’s upgrades.
Soak it All In & Enjoy!
Most importantly, August is for enjoying your space. Whether it’s an evening in the garden with the solar lights twinkling, or a quiet coffee in your perfectly organised kitchen, it’s all about those little moments that make home feel special.
