The wind and rain most likely just made it all drop...shame Blossom looks nice

The Chinese are using diggers to get shut of their weeds ( different weed I know, well algae in fact ) at least we don’t have that to contend with.

Dunno, think they are trying to clear up the mess before the Olympics start, for the sailing events and that.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
Don't mention weeds!
We have done our garden up and planted loads of seeds hoping for a lovely colourful garden by now and all we got was bloody nettles and dandelions
We have had to dig everything up and are now trying to grow some grass which is semi successful so far but more weeds!!
Anybody got any tips for two novice gardeners?

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
Weeds are always stronger than the plants you really want aren't they?

Mind you, I do love forget-me-nots even if they are a weed.

It's not weeds that are driving me up the wall though. It's pests. I am currently being outwitted by slugs which are devouring the leaves of my pear tree. I thought I'd got rid of them all but new ones keep materialising.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
If you're looking to grow grass and form a lawn, you'll never do it. A much better idea is to buy the grass in rolls and lay it on top of weed free, prepared soil.

Some of it has started to come through,we were going to get some more seeds to cover the remaining area but we were thinking of doing what you say if it doesn't work.
Does it cost a lot?
Thanks

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
Just seen an item on Breakfast TV this morning about the Laylandi tree/shrub. Seems that this plant, which is loved and hated in equal proportions, is being attacked by aphids which is starting to kill it off especially down south, it leaves the shrubs looking all brown and flakey, look awful to me

Bury a yoghurt pot so teh top is level with teh soil and put some beer in it. Slugs absolutely can't resist beer!
