Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

Not a gardener by any means, but think some are quite beautiful :-

My favourite, Forget-me-nots:-

Attachment 12087 Attachment 12088 .. Bullrush. (Well, they were lovely couple of months ago)

Have you any weeds that you are reluctant to despatch ?

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

I love forget me nots, but if you're not careful, they spread like mad, we used to have loads, but I'm afraid I got rid of them all, I got fed up of them taking over the garden.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

I like the good old daisy and buttercups.....pity i dont get them in my garden, I only get bloody clover!:rolleyes:

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

Must admit Buttonsmum, they do seem to have increased since last year, but do look really pretty lining the edge of the lodge at the moment :-

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

:eek: wow Kate has a big pond in her garden .... OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

I like daisies too, Panther. :)

We get the dreaded clover and the horrible dandelions in our grass. :(

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

good efforts there kate, nice piccys,

we lost our forget me nots when we had the conservatory built. They do spread like wildfire!

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

My weeds dont last very long at the mo and certainly dont get chance to flower in the back garden but I do like Forget me nots and Daisys.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

i'll tell you what i havent seen much of this year yet, blossom on tree's, have they all died off or is it because of all the rain we have had?

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

:o oh dear :o

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

Did the blossom not use to last longer though, we had around here in May but it only seems to last a couple of weeks.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

Tink you are right Grego thought the same myself this year

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

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

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.

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.
 

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.

Re: Weeds, weeds and more weeds.
 

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!
