Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Currently digging up plants to save.

Possibly the worst time to do it.

Poppies are all about to come out and loads of the blubs are indistinguishable.

Oh well sometimes you've just got to be savage with this shit.

Also getting attitude off my OH about whether the bay will make it. We're keeping it and integrating it to the design but they don't want it if it dies - I mean nether do I. But as shit as it looks at the moment there are shoots.

Bay trees are pretty tough - my neighbour cut theirs right down to stump a few years ago and the poxy thing is over 20ft tall again now.

My thoughts exactly.

Also established plants are expensive, so it seems double wasteful.

Any tips on what to do with these bulbs that we're a ft deep?

Cant replant until at least next Sunday.

Put them in the shade and x my fingers?

Put them in a tub with plenty of soil in it and keep out of the sun, should be ok for a week.

After what felt like a lot of research I came across this one. Rear roller for a nice stripe, and they did finance.

Anyone else got any young beech that is yet to do anything green this year?

Yes. Quite a lot of our hedging still looks lifeless.

Thanks, just curious if everybody was going battery powered.

Any suggestions for a hose? 10m is fine for length but want something that tidies away easily. Getting my current one all on the reel is a real ballache.

We have a retractable hazelock. I have zero complaints about

Just my opinion but I think a lawn mower needs to be petrol.

A handful of pictures from today. Tulips in front of sweet woodruff and the apple tree in boom.

Oh wow!

Scarified my lawn and it is an absolute state. So much dead grass and moss still in there. The dead grass that’s still in it is still somehow attached to the soil, but very much dead.

I actually went for a push mower from Bosch last year and have no problems with it. So convenient to just get it out for a quick mow. I don’t ever let my grass get particularly long mind …

Top work.

Seconded.

Thirded. The lack of cables and general faff makes the effort of pushing the thing around worthwhile.

It's the lawnmower equivalent of riding a fixie

I’ve thought about a push mower before but to get a good stripe it would need a heavy rear roller.

Fine to just cut grass though

I have solved this by having a separate roller….

I don't really understand striping your grass. What's that about then?

It’s slimming

I sink into our grass by a coupe of inches. Mostly moss, weeds and stuff that is green. A push mower would ged a bit bogged down. Lol

One day I'll do something with it as its currently a green colour, until then it gets mowed by an electric jobby.
