Thanks for trying but that goes right over my head. I'll ask a youngster next time they're here

ID please, and can I cut this back quite hard?
nepia replied to Cordata's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Yep, course it is. Well done -
Thanks for trying but that's gone over my head. You do appreciate I'm on a desktop now but play the game on my phone?!

Not sure about the bark but the leaf suggests Osmanthus Cut a couple of stems back hard and see what happens -
Wow; turning compost - such an evocative subject. At least we now know how to wind up a fellow member in the future. 'I bet you turn your compost. DON'T YOU; DON'T YOU'! I'm a turner. There - I've said it. I may not be proud but it's me. I do it to aerate; sometimes I generate new heat by doing it so it's not all bad. But I'm also a no digger of woodchip veggie beds so please forgive me the error of my ways

Share with what to get it on here? I share with several other phones via WhatsApp

If we're talking quick growing Kiwi stuff how about Pittosporum? Grown as large hedging over there and is salt tolerant as far as I know. A bonus is the very strong and sweet nighttime scent from the tiny flowers that moths love

Wouldn't have a clue hoe to publish here from my phone but did today's in two 😁

Just one job or your actual occupation?

Daleks work well in the sun. Got five of them and try to rotate but find I fill them all so occasionally tip one out, mix it up and re-load it. Obvs this is in a garden, nothing commercial scale. Yes, yes, yes to a moderate amount of grass clippings - they're what make your heat

Biggest ivy stem I've ever seen

I do Wordle, Quordle, Octordle (often including Sequence and Rescue), Worldle (with sub-games within), Travle and Connections. The last is a real headscratcher: 16 apparently random words that can be grouped into four x four sets. Boy are some of the connections tenuous

I'll try one later in the year when I'm feeling a bit down ☺️

Amusing but worryingly possible. If any water company executive dares cry 'water shortage' this side of July 2025...

This has been discussed repeatedly here. The perceived risk is overegged. Personally I love the smell and happily take in lungfuls of it for fun; some indication there of the actual levels of prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide dissolved in water) that are present. My Jo Beau chipperette has chipped probably 5x as much laurel as any other species; it's a pleasure. Don't eat it; it's chewy and - er - poisonous. Burn the seasoned timber; it's bloody good firewood. Does that help?

I thought today was going to be spring - all of it - but no, spring didn't even last one sodding day

Boards tied loosely edge to edge with the string over the apex of the greenhouse. Perhaps some scrunched up dumpy bags under them to provide a degree of cushioning

I've never seen a cat look so utterly desolate!

@PeteB Does your mog have his bald bits permanently or seasonally? The smaller of ours licks herself bald underneath and on the ankles in winter, presumably through boredom and OCD cleaning! Zylkene helps a bit - cat chill pills

And the forecast for today is... it's crap again

A pic might help... 😊

Eucalyptus Tree dying off after pollarding??
nepia replied to Julie123's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I've never heard of fire applied to a tree as being part of Euc lifecycle (doesn't mean it doesn't happen) but certainly some species need fire to open their seed capsules - gum nuts - to release the seed within -
How very heartwarming to see one of those contraptions on a human being
