I need some help, it's not about my garden. I've tried posting this in a fungi group and the rules were so draconian it got deleted (no idea why!)...
I feel like I'm really getting the understanding now of the garden as a living, breathing thing that I am forming a relationship with. It's...
So here we are, the garden has its finishing touch. Cyclamen and bulbs. That colour is extraordinary! Grass doesn't look bad, but you can't do...
So far all I'm getting is leaves - the tree itself is at the back of the garden of a housing estate and I don't imagine is being looked after at all.
[ATTACH] Second planting!!!! Moved the bird feeder a foot up into a troublesome corner where nothing seems to grow well. And several new additions...
I adore that tree! Those colours are amazing. So far it's not doing anything, but will keep an eye on it, thank you.
We let the grass grow bc we heavily seeded it and it needed time. Gardener has been today actually, to plant the second set (2x fuchsia, 2x...
OH and also OMG - I got my first birds!!! Genuinely one of the most exciting things that has ever happened to me :hapfeet: (little video uploaded...

It's good to know that it's been difficult, weather-wise, if you know what I mean. I have a sprinkler and it's too big, this little bit of grass...
I think maybe I thought it would flower immediately, then stop, but it never did. But yes, I realise that shrubs take their time to bed in, no pun...

The choisya, bought here, Choisya × dewitteana 'Aztec Pearl' - Mexican orange blossom doesn't flower, even tho the pix have flowers. Not sure why!...
It's pretty well bedded, it was raked properly and no turf came up. The gardener said to feed it, so I did. Conflicting advice is normal ofc...
I really am watering it every day, letting it pool in the balding spots. But I will try to water more. Your method sounds like a very good idea :)
Sprinkler is poor, so I abandoned it for the hose. I've been watering daily but I can't do an hour, that would waterlog it surely?! The gardener...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH]A big raking, it turned out! I did the feed and seed last Saturday and on Monday (as per my gardener's instructions - he is...
Oh and re the lawn, my mower is brand new so the blades cannot be anything but sharp. He set the level of cutting and said it wasn't going to be...
[ATTACH]Yes, the one below the grass pic.And as for the lawn, it looks bad and I don't know what to do. It was perfectly laid by the gardener...
This is the garden as it is now. Grass is a bit brown in places, bc it's been so hot. Also! I planted a wonderful thing that is growing well but I...
