I am the opposite of green fingered, although I do try.

I live in flats, so only a communal garden, which I have planted a few herbs in, not that they do that well with all the weeds and the strimming every 2 weeks!

These mushrooms have just popped up though, I've looked them up and apparently they are edible, not sure I will try them though.

is that a shaggy inkcap reminds me of cousin it covered in snow 😂

Ok so it turns out I shouldn’t be allowed on Amazon when browsing plants lol

I only went on to purchase a Euonymus fortunei 'Harlequin and ended up buying quite a bit more lol

Needless to say the £500 prize money for winning Happy Gardens has been well spent on plants and other gardening related things lol

Your garden will be lovely next year when all your plants settle. Perhaps you could post some photos then. @Luchia

My plan is to win again next year :D

My main problem is there’s just too many nice plants in the world and as soon as I get them I find more I want lol

Thankfully my garden is a good size so lots of space for more plants

Yes, I believe so! They look different now they've opened up.

Oh, I'm always so suspicious of mushrooms. Just too many that look like edible ones but are actually toxic 😓

I hope you'll share some lovely pictures with us @Luchia!

Could be worse 😱Could be the mushrooms on Last Of Us!

Will be sharing some pictures soon, We seem to have summoned a rain demon here lol

Wow @Luchia that's the garden sorted then

I don't think I'd eat those @Autism_at_40

Albus_Scope

I'd be really hoping those aren't cordyceps fungi @Luchia that could get very messy!

Autism_at_40

@Sandy_123 They're supposed to be edible, but I didn't touch them, they've gone now anyway.

We are still waiting for Season 2 so it might not turn out too badly 😱

Just bumping to keep the thread active 😊

Hi @Luchia - my cat, Shadow, is a very keen gardener…..she decided that some of my bulbs were definitely in the wrong place; she dug them up; I put them back in my raised bed; she dug them up, I put them back, ad infinitum.

She also decided I had far too many forget-me-knots, so dug quite a lot of them up; mind she was likely right that I had rather a lot, & at least she waited until they'd finished flowering!

Now all this leads to having an even more ever changing garden, so I do get to experiment with different plants (hopefully cat-proof ones she can't remove entirely). Life is certainly interesting with her around 😂

Had a lot of trouble with my neighbours cat digging up my plants and leaving little presents but I got one of them ultrasonic device things and now he won’t come in the garden so definitely been a huge win, been nearly 2 months without any issues now.

It sounds like your kitty just wants to help with plant placement hehe

Sandy_123

Its the squirrel in my garden, he forgets where he hides things so digs everything.

Bought two lovely hebe andersonii variegatas the other day! Not often you see them for sale so had to grab 2, pretty big size too with plenty of new growth
