The advanced gardening thread

Might be the wrong thread but wasn’t Angellica Bell looking very well at Chelsea yesterday. She stole the show in her green mini.

You dirty old bollocks.

Sorry Chops.
I knew the shoes weren’t right when I posted that. Thought she had changed them. Must have been a previous year.

This is her yesterday with the turquoise shoes.

There’s something a bit more raunchy about this years dress.

Would you agree?

She looks like Ainsley Harriot in a dress you animal

I’m off to the lookalikes thread…

Does salt really work to kill weeds on paved driveway? We did the chemical job a while back and nearly got 2 years from it but want a more natural way… what salt product am i after ?

It’ll just slow them down.
It won’t kill them or clear them…

It’s either Roundup (glyphosate) or get down on your knees.

Be interesting to hear how the boys got on with the flame throwers posted above?

Go the flamethrower route

I put in two beds when doing front drive summer before last. Among the plants, i put in two of these

They are an incredible colour this year but more impressive is the amount of bees. The plants are alive with bees; its as tho the plant itself is buzzing such is amount of bees in them.

Great to see.

Is it a caenothus by any chance. They grow pretty big over the years - see post 1878 above.
Looks fine and healthy.

It is indeed a ceanothus impressus. Doubt we’ll get to that size but they are maginificent in full colour

You’re also correct about the numbers of bees - there’s and endless buzz emaninating from it.

Its like a camoflagued hive out there

Finally got round to a fire in winter. A very enjoyable pursuit, with myself and herself having a grand drink outside in the (not very freezing) cold, watching the flames. I’ve been gathering fallen branches from the huge Eucalyptus outside the house for months and when they’re dried, they burn slowly and make a great fire.
Naturally, the metal fire pit is one I found someone throwing out, another bargain.
