More interesting photos.   
Lots of grass there to cut, Vlad.   That should keep you out of mischief for a little while.   :grin:



Does everyone use Postimages  to show their pictures,  or is there another way?

I have always used postimages. I often try to use the add image to post at the bottom of the reply box but it seldom works for me, I think my photos are too big for it.
I have 3 big lawns to cut and I hate doing it, never used to bother me but since I smashed my leg up THEN, had the heart trouble it's getting harder to do. I was in Tesco earlier and looking at their big head Pansies but they were almost dead, I don't know why they can't just water the damn things. It's the same down in Perth's Tescos they are left to die and I refuse to pay full price for them.

I agree with you completely, Raven.    Every time I see plants outside supermarkets they are either dying or dead.
I can't understand how the staff get away with it.    I blame the Manager,  because he should ask the staff to water them regularly,  but he either doesn't check - or he doesn't care either.

Tesco must be losing money when they purchase these things,  but never get their money back,  because no one will buy them when they are all half dead. 
I wouldn't be surprised if the staff say its not part of their job description!    :rolleyes:

My mum who practically lived in our huge garden told me if you move house it needs a full year to see what's what in a new garden. So not to make to many changes at first.

Does anyone here ever grow vegetables in pots and tubs?
If so,  what do you find grows well?

I made the mistake in one house of digging up what I thought were dead wood soon after we moved in.  Fuchsias. I know better now. 🙄

That's what I was thinking, I have dine some light pruning and removed some dead wood.
Today I planted a two year old weeping cherry tree in a large pot  behind the Buddha .
I put it in a pot in case I want to move it later.

Just the usual toms, snacking cucumbers and chilli's.
