To celebrate the launch of the new Cobra Fortis cylinder mowers, we’re giving you the
chance to win the Cobra Fortis 14L cylinder mower worth £1,099.00.
Cobra’s Fortis models are so much more than a mower, and in fact, combine eight
machines in one to give the ultimate package for creating picture-perfect lawns with the
striped finish that so many people strive to achieve.
What makes the Fortis machines so unique, however, is their ability to transform into
seven other machines to ensure that lawns are immaculate and healthy. The Fortis six-
bladed cassette can simply be removed and replaced with another accessory cassette in
the range to switch its use. Other cartridges include:

Garden for long enough and you eventually come to the inevitable realisation that for several perfectly good reasons it’s not that easy to create a memorably good winter pot display. Why not? First and foremost is the fact that unlike its summer equivalent (a completely different creature) you can’t simply stuff a winter container full of lots of frothy annuals, heat-loving, dramatic foliage plants, gauzy grasses, and showy, frost-tender perennials and then hope for the best. Instead the planting must be chosen to be resilient in the face of cold winter winds, heavy rain and frost, as well as tolerant of short days and low light levels, while somehow still being decorative enough to justify its prime position for up to six months. It’s quite the ask.

We’re back in New Zealand today to see more of Jill Hammond’s beautiful garden. She has spent the last 28 years transforming a 7.5-hectare (18.5-acre) piece of land in rural Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. When she and her husband moved in, it was a completely bare piece of land, so she’s created this entire garden from nothing.
As the temperatures start to drop and sweater weather arrives, you may start to look sadly at your beautiful, lush garden plants. Like it or not, their days are numbered! When the first frost arrives, tropical plants are done for the season, and you’ll have to buy many of them again next spring.
