The Gardening thread.....

Looks like you moved the tree in to next door’s backyard

If only I could get shot of that one, I get loads of tiny sycamore trees off it in my garden in spring then all the leaves in autumn!

Garden looked nice after cutting the lawn.

Any chance of digging that up ? I've got just the space for it.

Anyone bugged (!) by ants this year ? I've never seen anything like the number of ants nests in the lawns, each one spaced about 12 inches from the other in rows across the grass. They are also in the gravel drive in huge numbers and starting nests in each of the large urns and containers.

I've been trialling a home made weedkiller this week which seems to be as effective but faster acting than Pathclear or Roundup. It's 40% white Vinegar a tablespoon or so of salt and washing up liquid and then top up with water. The weeds appear to be dead within two days.

After a manicure





Hydrangea has deigned to flower

Managed to cut grass and tidy borders yesterday before the deluge looking much greener at the moment.

Looking good, just needs a bit of Sun.

Cheers, we bought a garden corner sofa a couple of months ago and i am really missing lounging around under the grape vine with a glass or two of home brew - hopefully September will be sunny

I can imagine that would be nice, trouble is we seem to have mislaid the Sun.

It's chucking it down and 15c here in NW Essex.

At last:
22c, a bit of sun, finished work in garden (another cut grass is glowing like the clappers) so on my sofa with a glass of home brew (single hop - “Citra” , still a bit cloudy only been in bottle for a couple of weeks, but tastes good)

Got this for blasting curry monsters… sorry that’s clearing leaves
