Does anyone know anything about gardening?

good spot and well remembered. It depends what you are looking at.

The former hollow is on a direct line from the cherry tree trunk on the left to the apple tree trunk on the right and is slightly patched grass and if you spotted it that is stomp-down amazing.

There is another section i'm working on further ahead just to the left of the spiky yucca plant where I am just cutting the grass away leaving a broad expanse of earth on show. That is another project.

thanks Chas,

Plum tree (Victoria plum) of course but for some reason i keep referring to it as a prune tree. Was going to edit it out or put some text saying 'you mean plum tree' but decided to leave it as a test to see who was paying attention.

you win!

I quite like the idea of a prune tree.

About to go and paint it with some random paint

please don't

a tour of my garden

nice! needs moar obstacles / jumpramps though.

Have considered seed, I need to get a rotavator on it, and also spend some time getting it properly level first

Soz.
The wood is already pretty knackered and there’s too much exposed bare wood to not paint it. Im also slightly relying on the paint for added structural integrity.
Need to scrape the paint back off the glass to neaten it up.

Paint as adhesive, filler and sealant ;)

Haven't looked into this properly but might be useful for some - re distributing stock from garden centres and nurseries, delivery in London and SE.

Ta -just bunged an order in - a trip to the garden centre for some colourful goodies was supposed to be the Mothers Day present - this should be a welcome surprise and earn me some lockdown brownie points!

At the moment we just have lines and lines of various veg seedlings on the go. No idea where they are all going to get planted, but as the lockdown ends we will probably just about have enough for a nice salad.

Amazing, thanks for sharing

yeah that looks like a Deutzia.

feedback rather than criticism but it also could be pruned a bit better after it flowers i.e. within the next few weeks.

the reason it branches out half way up is cos that's where you pruned it last time. if you cut out one in three of those stems to within 6 inches of the ground you will have new growth from the ground up and flowers at head height rather than bare branches at head height and flowers/growth at ten feet next year.

Ta, that spot is a real sun trap so we’re thinking a Montana Clemetis... dunno, got to lay some sort of patio area up there.

@>>>>>> found a bag of citrus compost today so repotted and cleaned the kaffir and our sorry looking curry leaf tree (over used and under loved). They tend to go outside from May until September and they love it but I get a bit sick of them inside, the lime in particular leaves a sticky sap trail. A green house one day.
How easy is the lemon grass to grow?

Our Montana has started flowering

Does anyone know what this is?

It has flowered for the first time this year. Which is a good thing as I was about to get rid as I'm in a hack and burn "gardening" spree at the moment.

Magnolia?

Also while I'm at it we have a very young fig tree in our garden (that is fruiting). However I am aware that they can grow to be approximately fuckingHUGE is there any way to prevent this or should I just get rid?

How sure are you? It had crossed my mind but it looks nothing like the other magnolias we have.

How sure are you?

My sister's got one and the leaves look kind of similar but I don't think it's Stellata. The dead leaves hang around for ages.
