The Gardening Bed

[bobo the clown]

Do you fancy sorting mine out, Tango?

Perfect, Tango young man ... the dog on the lawn is a beaut too.

[TANGODANCER]

Do you fancy sorting mine out, Tango?

Nah, one's enough. Lawn grows so freking quick it hardly worth while puttin the mower away.

[Dujon]

O.K., Tango, 'fess up. Who does the gardening at yours? The missus? It looks right tidy but where are the spuds?

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Tango. Get rid of the dog and get some sheep. You wont need the mower or to go out walking in the rain

Some in the cupboard, rest in Asda and Bolton Market.

Look what the wind's done to my spuddies



Anyway, I've shored them up as best I can with more soil and turned them round. Any tips greatly appreciated. Should they be OK?

This is them now.

Never mind the lawn, thebish, what about that poor nasturtium/geranium (or whatever 'um) left in its little pot seeking sunlight like a neglected child reaching for its father's arms? It's enough to make a grown man cry.

it's the bargain bin lupin i picked up a week or so ago from the garden centre "nobody-wants-me" shelf..

still haven't found a space for it - and it has been pretty much eaten alive by snails...

then rescue it. Repot, get all the current soil out and away (in case slugs have laid eggs) and give the perisher a chance. moving off ground level will help.

A bulrush has appeared, totally uninvited, next to the heather at the end of my front garden. I've absolutely no idea how it got there or what I should do with it. Are bulrushes weeds?

Best ask Moses - he's the expert.

They are in a sense but tend to need wet, undrained soil.

The head,once gone to seed produced millions of seeds but your average garden won't take to them.

We used to collect them and soak them in Esso Blue before using them as flame arrows. We lived a simple life.

all sorts of stuff gets in there - blown on the wind or (more likely) carried in on a bird...
