#weeds

No hose ban here... yet... been to the plot. 9 till 1130, watered the lot, plucked weeds, trimmed the olive and the Hazel bush, pulled up broadbeans and planted spuds. Spuds found dumped, a dozen of them, in the general compost heap, with rootlets so, yeah, why not. Testing a tarpaulin for leaks in view of using a tub as a pond, rather, pond already there but it dries out, ideally placing the tub in it so as to keep water during dry months. Will report. #allotment #gardening #potatoes #weeds #olive #broadbeans #pond

With a second (and spectacular) fire in a few months, the Ottawa fire service says that removing weeds with a propane torch is a bad idea. Even a short time after getting 10 cm of rain. #weeds https://youtu.be/UGgbDtI8BzA

Ox-eye daisies are invasive here and I generally mow them- I let one patch reach full flower just for fun, and many pollinators do love them (I'll chop/pull before they seed). Here it is visited by a Leafcutter Bee- always fun to see these little folk. #bees #NativeBees #garden #BloomScrolling #florespondence #pollinators #insects #inverts #flowers #weeds #nature #GetOutside #summer

I don't know whether to be impressed or annoyed. This bramble has made its way through 2 layers of cardboard and 30cms of mulch. It's almost stopped the convolvulus/hedge bindweed but not this bramble. I have a helpful neighbour who swears by glyphosate and I'm trying to keep him at bay until the weather is cool enough to get out there and do a bit of key hole surgery. #gardening #weeds #nodig #organic

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social When Sir Francis Bacon put seeds, he put them as wisdom one heeds. They don't go with eggs or fried chicken legs and clearly won't help you grow weeds! #limerick #sirfrancisbacon #weeds #eggs

Stay off my lawn, err, corn patch. Damn weeds. #Scythe #Mowing #Gardening #Homestead #Sweetcorn #Weeds
