Gooseberries are generally spikey, the buds look like a gooseberry, but I couldn't see any thorns. The shrivelled fruit on tree 3 look like plums remove and dispose of. THe others would be easier if you could hang on a couple of weeks until flowers and leaves appear and then add more photos.

We don’t worry about creating layers. Kitchen and garden waste goes in when it’s created and the paper is added every so often, again usually when we have some ready to go in. All our garden waste goes in with the exception of woody material. I do put weeds in but am happy to accept that that...

Hi @Thevictorian @burnie thanks for commenting! I don't know how old the pond it, I would say at least a few years. It gets some sun during the day but we do have a large tree and some garden buildings that should offer it shade in the summer. I've moved a small amount of the leaf sludge that...

I agree, that a lot depends on what stage they are at. If you are only cutting small branchlets then a little sap bleeding will not hurt. You can always do more in late May-June, as long as you are not cutting anything thicker than a pencil. Any bigger cuts will have to wait till Winter.

This might be a daft question but are your mower blades good and sharp? It looks rather like the grass blades have been pulled/torn rather than cut cleanly. Some of the finer grasses like fescues are quite tough and wiry so the mower needs to be sharp.Like the pics here Keep your mower blades...

Thank you guys, this is really helpful again!

Gorgeous @redstar , beautiful.

Diy store plants usually get over or under watered and acers don't like it to dry, which might have been the reason for dried up leaves (if it wasnt one of the others mentioned above).Cordylines aren't completely hardy and the more colour in the leaves, the less hardy they are. The normal...
