Awww, I'm glad Mr Blackbird has found love @michael57 I love watching our pair hopping around, demolishing the tidy piles of dirt we've made. They're always in such a rush too. 😆

It is not clear why you planted raspberries near the wall. There should be a distance of at least a couple of feet. In 20 years you will be tired of these weeds with berries).

Old sleepers are poison.

back in the day on the farm we would use used railway sleepers for gate posts the more tar on them the better making them water proof they were more weather proof than your modern garden sleeper made from soft woods the asbestos dust could cause a problem from used sleepers tho and sitting on hot sticky tar could be fun

last a lot longer than what they class as sleepers nowadays

Oils, diesel fuel and the like from old sleepers are released into the soil and pollute it. It is unlikely that anyone deliberately waters apple trees and carrots with kerosene from a watering can, right?)

Its full of good stuff including gardening for the visually impaired and seed sowing..
I REALLY disagree with their making a new bed however..
Its FAR easier to make a fresh No Dig bed with layers of cardboard and either wood chip or compost..
In my own garden we're (me & the girl) are enjoying carrots sown from seed - Monty style.. I'm pretty impressed.. I've never every managed to grow carrots.. I think raised beds are the answer.. Also the gooseberries look like they're gonna have a good crop again this year, first rhubarb is looking promising and broad beans are doing well..
I'll be busy, IF I've got the energy - still recovering from having a tooth pulled a few weeks ago and now on antibiotics …1 -
Garden Organic has got it covered for this month - poking the compost - yeah I think I can manage that

not a great one for veggie growing had enough of that when i was a lad growing up i can relate to the visual problems in the garden tho cutting through your finger nail instead of the wood smarts a tad

Universal advice will never help anyone. You need to look at the soil and relief of the garden in each specific place.

I agree @Jassongi and i also feel like it tastes better than supermarket!
Hoping to plant some peppers and tomato's this weekend!1 -
Well some of the random seeds I planted the other week are starting to germinate now and the chilli plant I overwintered is getting some leaves. Everything's kicking off nicely in the garden. 😁

Waiting for the weed killer to kick in, my rhubarb has resurfaced after being dug out again, so now heavily sprayed with weed killer. I feel like it's saying ...I'll be back...like robocop

Urgh, rhubarb is such a pain to get rid of isnt it @Sandy_123 not quite as bad as bamboo. But at least you can eat the rhubarb. 😆

I've dug it out twice and it's back but it's starting to wilter with the weed killer on it. I've just been and picked up some gardening gloves and an edger for the lawn.
