    Not quite finished but definitely an improvement, if I do say so myself.

    You've put a Haxball stadium in your backyard.

Got into gardening in 2017 and have done quite a bit of planting/potting round the back since then. Top photo was from the home brochure when I bought the house, forgot how sparse it was-



    That’s my old school in the background

    Spent the morning in the garden. Cut the grass and applied iron sulphate. It’s too warm really, but that’s what happens when your wife employs a rubbish gardener and I’m brought out of retirement to fix it.

    Also covered the patio and drive in Gallup to try and get a handle on the weeds. Me and my dad are gonna regrout the patio soon, so good to get some weed killer down the cracks before cementing it shut.

    My wife planted some chives a while ago and I bloody love it when the strimmer catches them and the whole garden smells like spring onions for a bit.
    I'm a twit

    It’s what works though. I protect myself well when using it and don’t use it near the well.

    Nothing else kills stuff as quick or as well.

    Think that was the most depressing part of that job. They’d send us a list of all the lawsuits involved and Cplumn A was what we’d spent on Lawyers. column b was how much more we’d be willing to spend on lawyers. And Column C was how much the plaintiffs were asking for. And it was always like a small percentage of A+B. So depressing.

    Ah yeah, as long as your hideous physical form is yet again just about sustained to maintain a pulse over all other costs, that's all that matters. Roundup all-round.

    Why are you killing Bees? Wasps, fair enough, but bees? Bad form. Our garden is doing well now, spent too much money on plants (despite buying bargain plants, that has just resulted in buying more). However the local birds think the red berry suet I put in the feeders is crack cocaine and act accordingly, nailing a whole cake in a day.

    I was trying to grow a wall of conifers at the adjoining fence to our drive out the front to avoid having to talk to the neighbours but a few of them have died off, inexplicably as the others are fine.

    I’m not really killing bees, not deliberately anyway as I’m only spraying low weeds and grasses. What bees I’ll have helped with the wild flower patch I put in especially for them will vastly outweigh any killed.

    Anyway, don’t think for a second that suicide bomber cunt actually gives a fuck about nature. He just wants to something something gammons.

    I planted some bee bombs but they were wank and non flowering plants so I ripped the fuckers out. Saw some comedy prices on dahlias at the garden centre on friday, £15 per plant. Did have a nice purple lot and some oranges, will wait until next spring and get them off the old fella down the farm for £2 each.

    Did a little bark border over the last few days. I wouldn't be hiring me to lay your setts/cobbles any time soon but it wasn't a disaster given I've never done it before. The first picture is the kitchen thing I showed before, second a mini greenhouse and the third is a pallet thing the girl wants to make into a herb garden, IDK.

    Have a morello cherry tree on the way which we are going to train onto the wall.

    Also my yuzu tree has some yuzus! And I haven't killed it yet!
