  • I had cherry tomatoes in my hanging baskets this year, I've been overrun with them! I'll be living off tomato sauce for the next month!

    Ah - another daft thread.  Just what I need while relaxing  image

    Brexit isn't going to affect my garden, or anyone else's up here north of the border. We'll be reinstating 'the wall' just to make sure.  

    Now where is the phone number for those Mexicans? Mr Trump - you have it don't you?.... 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I’d love to dig up my grass, I’d rather plant and weed than tend grass. Never possible though, just a pipe dream. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor. 

  • I'd love to dig up my grass too but apparently my grandchildren need it.
  • We’ll need grass to feed the unicorns  ;)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Will it affect the chemicals used in the garden?
    Will we be able to produce lots of noxious things to kill all the bugs or bring back that pretty purple stuff. Cheshunt compound?
    Can't remember what it was for now,  fungicide?
    Very pretty purple it was though.

    I am being a tad facetious about UK being allowed or making its own regulations and rules to manufacture nasty things for sprays. I expect China will send along some nice underarm deodorant that will double up and is suitable for killing greenfly.

    Generally we are in a gardening era that is far more aware of what damage can be caused with indiscriminate use of chemicals. It is not all easy or cut and dried.

    If l got rid of the lawn, my OH would probably divorce me. I have to resort to claiming little bits at a time.... >:)
