I agree it needs a retaining wall. That's far too steep a slope to stay put in heavy rain with just hessian or turf. And it doesn't look very...
Warm again, no storms here, not a single drop of rain. And none in the forecast for at least a week.
I don't even think about how I tie my shoelaces. I know I do what's effectively the first half of a reef not with an extra twist first because it...
Nothing. You can knock them off if you don't like to see them, but they're just the fruiting bodies. The underground parts will still be there....
We had a band of cloud pass over yesterday afternoon, but it didn't produce any rain. Must have dropped it all further south and west. It was very...
Probably the latter. Stuff sells when it's in flower (impulse buys). Hot and dry weather isn't ideal for planting anything, but if they have a...
Mulch will stop the self-seeders from coming up/swamp the seedlings if they're already up. However if you've had your self-seeding plants for a...
Mains electric cylinder mowers seem to be a thing of the past. I had one long ago but when it needed replacing, there were very few available and...
Yesterday got uncomfortably warm in the afternoon and evening and it looks like being the same today and tomorrow. There's a small probability of...
I kept an electric mower for the same reason, but I wasn't using it so I gave it away. I do the edges with hand shears mostly. I used to have a...
Cool and mostly cloudy yesterday, pleasant for gardening - got the outside and top of the privet hedge cut and the grass mowed, and a bit more...
The leaves in the closeup pic remind me a bit of pieris. I think all you can do is cut back any dead parts (or the whole thing if you're up for...
We got a shower yesterday afternoon but it only lasted about 10 minutes so it didn't amount to anything much. Today is forecast cloudy but mostly...
I have the same Bosch push mower as Escarpment. I have 3 lawn areas, none of them huge. I can cut all three in maybe half an hour (much more to...
It looks just like my Geranium sanguineum striatum (also known as G. s. Lancastriensis).It could be a hybrid variety, but definitely a...
There's a possibility of some rain in the forecast for today and tomorrow, but I think it'll only be showers at best. Then pretty much dry for the...
Been over to the Peak District today to meet some friends from the other side. It stayed dry there, with a fair bit of sunshine, but a fresh...
Rain overnight/early this morning - 5mm in the gauge :smile:
We got lucky, another 3.5mm rain :smile:
It's been raining this morning (2mm) but the forecasts disagree on how likely it is that we'll get much more today.
