Biggest thing learned in my garden Scotland is don’t do my seeds till around the 10th April as it’s just too much work the way I used to mid March in my greenhouse that is built up year on year and packed away. They catch up and are normally stronger. Right now we have Storm Dave so glad the wee green house isn’t even up. Plus we have frost even last week.
I live in West Yorkshire I always do things about a month later than suggested. It’s a lot colder here.
Such a beautiful episode. Off to the garden I go!
Got the lawn sorted yesterday, my body isn't thanking me.
I'll cut the grass after the frost stops…
I would take care of the lawn, but we've been celebrating British Weather Week here. (Its been raining for about a week straight here in Indiana)
Been covering stuff like this on my channel too, great minds think alike lol. Keep it up!
Thank you for your videos.
🪺🐇🌷🐣Happy Easter to you and your family 🐣🌷🐇🪺
🪺🐇🌷🐣 happy Easter Everyone 🐣🌷🐇🪺
Thznks alan i have my garden on a high cut early on in the spring david ❤❤❤
Don't "grab yourself a cuppa". Leave grabbing to monkeys and barbarians. Go indors, make yourself a cup of tea and enjoy the moment.
I want a lawn. We bought seed and I don’t think we’ll have trouble with birds.!🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛
Use those edge bits to patch any edges that have given way. Turn them so the orginal edge is on the inside and the side you cut becomes the new edge.
Oh hes just wonderful isnt he? Love your work Alan x
Love this Alan!
But… I like the moss! I’m keeping it! I wish the whole lawn was moss, it’s so beautiful 🙂
Great info thanks
Great video! Just what I needed this evening. Thank you 🙂
Love Hyping great videos 😊👏
My plants are flowering. What a great month
lovely video!
Another good quality video Alan 👍👍👍
I bought a fan trained morello cherry for my north facing garden wall. I researched and discovered Morellos don't mind a North facing wall. It is in bloom now and when it fruits it will draw blackbirds in to my city centre garden which ordinarily is the domain of pigeons.
If you are sceptical that your north wall would take a morello, mine gets about 30 mins of sunshine twice a day for a couple of weeks at the very height of summer.
How do you get rid of red ants in the lawn Alan?
Lovely channel
Wow I really need to move to the UK lol as I still have several feet of snow in my yard! I will keep these tips in mind for next month.
In ireland there are hailstones
Thank you so much for this. Useful, practical, but not so much information that it made my head hurt! Much appreciated. And subscribed. ☺️
This is definitely not the channel for me lol. Trying to control nature by giving it a manicure instead of letting nature flourish.
Such great advice…I've got a little greenhouse full off seedlings and im getting that little feeling creeping up to get the alotment ground weeded and in shape for the forever homes for seedlings coming…as you will see on my videos 🙈
No need for music.
I'm here for information not that
I’d recommend Mobacter for lawns as it turns the moss into an organic feed and doesn’t need raking out. Moss is the symptom of underlying compaction so sort that first.
We started growing our own veg – always from seeds – last year.
It's truly wonderful! ❤
I’m working on say goodbye to my grass, although it’s a lot of work, I envision other options to be less work at my golden age….id like to think of putting a potted tree of some sort smack in the middle of the front heard where the grass lived for beauty and for interest, so some suggestions would be appreciated. I’m in zone 4 USA
I'm not a very experienced gardener but i planted a young Prunus Kiku-Shidare-Zakura and it only has 3 branches?.
Do i just wait to see what happens or do i need to do something to help it along.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Sort out the lawn … by getting rid of 80% of this most awful mono-culture.
