Was well manured before dry spell makes a big difference ... and it's shaded all round even though it is South West facing .. It is badly burned around curbs where grounds works lads kept concrete behind curbs too high but it will come . Tip .. don't cut lawn too tight in dry weather it stresses grass too much and it holds any dew better .

BorneTobyWilde · 04-07-2018 8:10pm

Cool, rain is rare.

Lunch from the garden...really delighted with the red cabbages this year.

What's that about?

blackbox · 20-07-2018 4:29pm

Usually only see them at dawn or dusk...

There is a small area of nice green grass where water wicks from the pond.

These were taken through a window - I was hiding inside the house.

Aargh! - my web hosting has gone down so my photos have disappeared from here!

Edit: it's fixed; they're back

Phacelia. Not just for bees!

What is the harvesting process?
Cut the head off after full bloom and let dry out or...?

Don't cut it, leave it to dry out for a few weeks before cutting.

did you ever see apples so bright red???

please don't ask me which variety cause i don't know

(and just in case you're wondering..its not photo-shopped its genuine)

New Home · 10-09-2018 7:01pm

Obviously, they're the "Snow White's Evil Stepmother" variety.

Harry Palmr · 13-10-2018 4:12pm

Not my gardens, a clients. The leaves have already almost disappeared unfortunately

red in a different way:

and this is the juice from it; it looks like ribena.

it's a variety called belvedere house, bought it from irish seed savers.

New Home · 13-10-2018 5:37pm

WOW!!!!!!!!

blackbox · 25-01-2019 7:05pm

It's beginning to look like Spring...

fryup · 01-02-2019 10:58pm

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

4/5 weeks too early??

blackbox · 04-02-2019 6:19pm

Not at all. Snowdrops are always very early.

It will be a a good while before my daffodils come out.

GrumpyMe · 06-02-2019 2:21pm

Some are up and out already - south facing in the "sunny" east!

J Cheevor Loophole · 05-03-2019 12:35pm

Hi, anyone got a tutorial on how to attach or embed a photo image

beertons · 05-03-2019 1:29pm

Upload as an attachment. Post it. Click on picture, highlight the address. Then go to edit, and paste it between [img][/img]

That's what I do.

New Home · 05-03-2019 8:12pm

But you need more than 8 posts to be allowed to do it.

Couple pics with nice weather. Looking forward to more colour as summer follows

blackbox · 22-04-2019 6:32pm

I cleared out my overgrown water lilies from my pond today.

They are large varieties with red or pink flowers - not suitable for a small pond. Varieties "Attraction", "Charles de Meurville", "Escarboucle" & "Conqueror," but no idea which is which. You can see a picture of the pink ones in this thread dated 6th June 2018. I can also spare some irises.

If anyone would like some (collection only) they should PM me ASAP before they dry out and die. I am in Co. Wicklow.

chewed · 23-04-2019 7:39am

The garden after a bit of a tidy up. Even the dog wanted to get in on the action!

rolion · 23-04-2019 10:40am

You lucky guys with a big decent garden size... just needs imagination and a blank cheque !

...and a lot of time and labour. Sometimes patience can be a substitute for a chequebook.

Oak before the Ash - in for a splash
Ash before Oak - in for a soak
My 21 year old bonzied stone oak is in leaf and none of the surounding ash are. We're in for a good Summer folks - enjoy.

The brown leaves are last years.
The storm has burnt some leaves on my beech tree though.

Not sure Sraples - i would say that the burnt leaves are gonners for this year.....but the tree will cope with it ok. I remember end of May 2011 (Obama was visiting and there was a terrible cold wind ) - loads of trees in full bloom were badly scorched - it looked like Autumn had come early.

After 10 years of living with a jungle at the back of the house, 4 x14 hour back breaking days got me to here. The grass better grow now.
