Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Weed? Edit. Not weed weed, a weed.

Just netted the Strawberry Barrow patch.

Cracked Open Pro rim proving useful.

Excellent work. Mine are getting brutalised.

Weed?

Thing is, it looks so fucking neat.

Looks a tiny bit like tarragon.

Slugs or birds?

Birds I think as I've they've fanished in the day time. Also woodlice. Also slugs no doubt.

Quite close to buying slug pellets now. It's eating the sunflowers that really boils my piss.

After (just awaiting trellis and a bit more soil/compost mix).

Looks like willowherb to me. It's pretty, but very prolific. If it's greater willowherb maybe you'll get lucky and see an elephant hawk-moth!

Though I have shitloads of willowherb in every square inch of my garden, and I have never seen an elephant hawk-moth.

^nice

Tuesday will officially be my last day as a tree surgeon. 13years, one head injury, countless hilarious/terrifying moments. Day after day of 5am starts, trying to park trucks and chippers all over central london, pissing everyone off but a whole lot of fun too.

It’s a crazy industry, don’t do it.

What will you be doing instead, Ed?

I’m going back into the scenery/discoball business I worked at in years gone by as a side hustle. Going full time there for a bit with an eye to finally moving out of London at the end of the year and looking to study woodland management.

The job has had its pound of flesh. Just fancy a change for a bit before going into the more sustainable end of tree work.

I also wanted more time to ride my bike.

Best of luck with your new endeavours!

May be able to hook you up with some contacts for forestry work in Scotland if / when you're ready and are interested.

@Bobbo I’ll def be interested in that. We have no family or network in Scotland other than a few friends so will be in touch when we know more about our timings :)

Cool my uncle runs a trout fishery as part of a large estate in the central belt, near Stirling and is pretty well connected. I also know some other folk in estate and forestry management in the borders as well as near Aberdeen.

Levitating branch in the first picture?

Or is it attached to the helmet with a twig?

That's what I thought at first but I think it's just been thrown (towards camera, but hopefully not too close)

All the very best with your change of tack, the quality of your mirrored skull (no, not the one above), says you will be in demand. I will miss bitching about brain-donor labourers. If woodland management works out that would be perfect!

Well done @edmundro - this one was a long time coming, glad you made it out in one piece!
