Gardening

I have got into the garden over the last couple of years and have developed a strange obsession with my lawn, I am getting out there tomorrow to give it the first cut of the year. I have ordered a scarfifier and an aeration tool and i'm looking at top dressing to level the lawn as well. Keep watching videos on Youtube and feeling a proper old c**t.
 
My missus and I have a little garden nursery in the sticks near Whitby, we opened today , first day since Christmas, not too busy but plenty of potting work to do, heres hoping for good season , but not like last year , that was mental!
I think all hell's going to break loose once the lockdown is lifted so fingers crossed for you.
 
I'm one of the army of novice gardeners that took it up with more interest during last summer's good weather and quieter social life.

I've got a long thin garden that's North facing, but the end part enjoys full sun (and is effectively South facing) due to the length.

However the end closest the house is in near permanent shade, and certainly never receives a ray of sun for about 7 months or so, and barely any in summer (some parts never).

What grows?!? I've tried ferns, but are there any climbers that can grow on a North wall with pretty much zero sun?

In my experience pyracantha grow pretty much anywhere, with the added bonus of being evergreen and quite fast growers. Nice bright berries that the birds like to eat too.
 
Did you pass up on all those juicy Gammon Steaks ?.

Was it just me bought them from the local shop lifters in the Parkside after the game ?
My main goal in the Parkside after the game was to drink and get high, but not so much that I wouldn’t make it into the snide Taxi for a ride into Town to the bright lights of the Cyprus Tavern!

Whereabouts do you live?

We still had frost two days in the North West, granted I am high up in the north-west bordering on Scotland but frost is frost lol

Also, it is a lawn killer you cut it too early :)

Not that it bothers me as I put stones over it years ago lol
 
Best thing I ever bought for my lawn is MO Bacter Organic Fertiliser.

Its a slow release organic granular fertiliser that digests the moss without having the need to mess about with a scarifier or raking, this stuff just eats away at the moss without leaving any dead black debris.

Apply around early March (or when the frost subsides) and let it do its stuff.
