The toms are doing well
i bow to your knowledge due to us just redoing the whole garden NLJR wants to grow some veggies in a pot or similar is there anything he can plant this weekend and see something that can be eaten before winter or have we left it too late?
Or get him some small tommy plants already in pots. My mum grew spuds in a big pot last year something she hadnt done in 80 years.
i fecking hate the taste of courgettes but will have to eat them so that he will be happy
;-)
The bastards , did you chase after them ?

Not exactly but if i catch them i am going to throw the little "sweeties" over the fence hopefully the impact will bash their brains in. My hubbie is a greenie and does not want to use any chemicals in the garden which is great in theory but completly useless in practice. Just spend £20 in guardian ecostore to stop them eating them - slug mats and plastic covers. personally favour the beer/pellet approach and if these do not work that is what is going to happen next year.
if so have you been to crews hill top garden centres up there buddy
The corgettes are in the strawberries are hanging the Toms are in i did baby gems and Sweetcorn and peas
we have been having problems with our neighbour on the right for 10 years with them constantly building onto our border with no gaps left for us so we have to build inside our own land (the boundry we are responsible for), I came home one day to find 3 men in my garden building their garage and my fence removed so they could do the build, i came home to find new double glazed windows with 4 inches of windowsill in my garden and then to make things worse on the said garage the put a 6 ft pole with one feck off great satalite dish for their greek tv and a sky dish all over hanging my garden by several inches.
so enough was enough this weekend i replaced the fence with 6 inch gravel boards and a new six foot fence we are allowed 7 ft and i then went out and brought a red robin tree and placed it level with the satalite dishes will grow 16ft high with a 5 ft width so nothing to obstructive. i had knocked and asked them to move them a year ago and was treated to no's so in the last year we have been given planning permission to build an extension that has covered one of their windows (that over looked my garden and were not on their deeds for their extension) and this weekend the nosey bstds have been blocked out of my life for good but they went mental this morning big time and called us everything under the sun.
and do you know what it feels fecking great to sit there in silence and finally have the higher ground
it has taken all of ten years
They had a problem with rats once and his Mrs asked my mum what they could do. The Mrs is straight out of a Bollywood movie. I got a CAFC face who is a "pest control chap" to sort it out for em. Now Mum is the best thing since none stick rice. The walls still on mums land though.
our problem was we have had to wait for our bank balance to match our will of revenge and now we have saved hard enough to start the projects that we wanted to do like the extension and garden.
The fecker even has had the cheek for the lsast 6 years to run his rain water straight from his drain pipes into our garden and we only discovered this when we took the fence down, to resolve this we raised our borders and cemented under the gravel boards and in that last down pour he was moaning that since we have done our garden that his patio keeps flooding.
well either run a drain like most people or get a water butt and collect the water to do your garden like we have but i spose if you have no plants just bricks whats the point in that.
when we dug our footings for the extension the builders were cacking it as theres no footings other than 6 inches of concrete holding his brick lean too up and his garage hasnt even got 6 inches of footings we have got more holding our concrete fench posts in than he has got on all his buildings bar his house and inital single storie extension.
Back to the garden it looks the nutts put NLJR's trampoline with guard up this afternoon bouncing around on the area we had layed for him like a mad man happy english summer days are here and no nosey parker to spoil it

Alsodigging up the back of the garden behind the shed to start a few things going up there as well
its a relatively small gardenand there are paving slabs covering the whole garden. Its all uneven and cracked.
I started to lift up the slabs and dig up the small planting area that was there. Problem is, the feckers have just poured about one and a half foot of concrete down and stuck the slabs on top. There was no drainage so there are big holes underneath the conrete- big enough to fit in! there is also loads and loads of bricks etc in with the planting area!
going to dig it all up and stick some decking down.
Love the comment about Fishnet and the Pigs!!
So I've got a patch of land - about 3 metres long by a metre wide - what should I grow? Will it sustain a family of 4??
