My little rose garden

Hell yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about! Gorgeous. Cheered me up

 

Baby scanned today. It is most definitely a boy! Didn't get a good pic to put on here maybe next time. The weathers been too rough to get out even for ten mins the last few days. Will have to carry on wiv my knitting.

 

.....A little brother waiting in the wings for Miss Chimney....don't let him kick footballs around near your lovely roses though

 

Lovely news CRG!

 

Merry Christmas to everyone! Especially those that are ill or missing loved ones today! Sending u some Christmas cheer! Xx the chimneys

 

Off out for ten mins to rescue my geranium collection. Can't believe I have a light purple one flowering

 

Too icy to venture into garden today :( watched beech grove recording instead
Birthday tomorrow and getting all my gardening stuff and edging down to three quid ish from 12 in argos sale so that's a huge saving. as I orderd 10 packs

 

I need to get rid of my grass for roses and veg. No way I can dig it up till July any ideas? Glyphosate? Cover it?

 

You'll be hard pushed to find a windless day at the moment for using glyphosate CRG! It's also the wrong time of year, for it to work the grass, like weeds has to be actively growing. There's also the risk of drift onto your plants.

I don't think covering it would work either, grass is pretty tough and would probably grow back when uncovered. Is there no one that would/could dig it up for you?

 

Thanx sheal. No I will have to wait till I'm healed up maybe June / July. It's no problem gardens take time don't they?

 

Yes, they do take time.....a lot of it! Unfortunately gardening means patience however frustrating it may be.

 

I'd cover it with black plastic, sliced into the ground round the edges, then grow stuff in pots on top for the first season. It'll kill most of the grasses off, though you might have some Couch & Dandelions to spray off when you lift it.
