Gardening Tips

[Doon frae Troon]

When you have just spent two hours in the blazing sun weeding a large bed.
Sit down in front of it with a nice cup of tea and by the time you have finished drinking it you will be amazed how many weeds you have missed.

My inlaws gave me some great gardening advice once.

If you don’t link gardening then buy a flat.

I’ve decided to meet them halfway and just have a lawn.

Get block paving and fake grass

My garden looks brilliant all year round

Dull and Boring...…..you miss the joy of sowing a seed, watching it grow and bloom and then being flattened by the daughters dog.:lol:

You are allowed to sit down ...

Wish my head gardener was as generous...

I moved into a new place in November last year.... Since spring started my garden has been nothing but a pain in the arse.

Not only is it very slopey and on 3 levels with lawn everywhere, but so many bits of it are infested with mares tail (Google that son of a gun) and bind weed. Honestly I reckon I need about 50 gallons of weed killer to make it better.

That looks like it might be a bit more potent than usual, thank you!

The directions tell you how much to use in 'acres'
Best wear a divers suit and helmet when you use it and be aware it will kill everything... weeds, plants and grass

That is over three months now without any measurable rain and the temperature averaging around 20 degrees.

Really starting to get fed up watering:lol:

I'd be a bit wary of using 'stuff' as lethal as this appears to be...
Could be some collateral damage and not a great way to remain good neighbours...
