Tending One's (Lady) Garden...

[Bbbananas]

A recent study has shown that if you stroke your lettuce regularly, as well as keeping it moist & sufficiently fed, it will thrive and ultimately taste better.
How about it ladies? - Do you agree that Lavishing your Lavatula, Caressing your Coriander and tenderly fingering your Clematis makes for a happier flourishing garden?

my rhubarb's up

[carrot99]

Those are excellent ideas for one's garden salla and I have found the introduction of a rabbit is not the cause for concern that some gardeners might fear!

I'm going for a prick-out in the potting shed.....

[sandyRoe]

A (Lady) Garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!

[carrust]

Does your clematis like it in a bed or up against a wall?

[bibblebub]

my brussel sprouts are never better than after a good fondling

[sara3]

I'd rather get the gardener in.

[Bbbananas]

I am so glad you all agree with me - we have some serious DIY gardeners here I see. I prefer my clematis up a wall carrust, but am not averse to have it trailing langourously across a bed.
I do not discourage rabbits carrot - only slugs.

So do you trim your lawn then salla, or is it overgrown and unkempt?

[funnygirl]

My garden I am sorry to say, has become very weedy!!
In need of plucking.

[jno]

how do you keep the squirrels out?

[merciasounds]

Well SOMETHING has been having a go at my lettuce, and it isn't slugs - I put sunken plastic cups of beer out for them.....I think a good Rake is necessary sometimes..

[carrust]

Hope your lawn is neatly trimmed, we don't want any straggly bits hanging over the edge.

[merciasounds]

Nuts, jno

[bobjugs12]

At your age salla, I'd have thought there would be a water feature in there somewhere as well ;-) xx

[sandyRoe]

You are nearer to God in a garden than anywhere else on earth

[carrot99]

jno you don't need to keep squirrels out of one's lady garden - ladies don't usually have the nuts they want!

[carrot99]

exactly sandyroe - but watch out for serpents...

[sandyRoe]

I thought I'd be providing the serpent. Well, a wee grass snake anyway

[rowanwitch]

I think regular doses of cumpost work wonders
