At least take it out of the punnet so it’s not completely obvious you bought it at Sainsbury dude

Broad beans and mangetout ready now. Glut of strawberries.
Raspberries wiped out. Need to dig the lot up. Just found the new shoots have cane blight too. Killer spray not available to plebs and I’ve no idea what it’s called anyway.
Enjoy it ! However determined, they can come and go I’m afraid. If you catch the seed heads before they burst you can save a zillion seeds for next year. Some might grow.

Needs Patch to come pay a visit!
Ha!! Is that the gardening equivalent of “that rug really ties the room together”.
Cheeky twerp. 
Genuine lawn envy. My lawn now looks like the pitch on day five of a test match at Nagpur.

Grass has come on a treat these past couple of weeks, really pleased with it. Another spiking at the weekend to get some air in.
Very satisfied. Hopefully the roses will be out soon.

On roses… there is a rose bed in the middle of the garden. Can you snip them at the top to stop them growing too high, or do you just leave them to do their thing?
Just throw a boat on them like Rob did.

Looks great, our lawn was doing ok before May but really suffered last month. Pic from a few weeks ago.
Looks like it’s going to rain for the rest of the summer so all good

Wow, that’s a beautiful garden Pete, I’m guessing it’s not low maintenance.
