i have;

- cleaned the shed roof
- mowed the lawn 3 times
- painted 9 trellis fences
- removed ivy from a wall and fences
- tidied up the plant pots
- transplanted x3 plum trees
- moved hundreds of bulbs/plants
- weeded front borders and back borders
- covered the borders in tonnes of wood chipping
- trimmed virginia creeper on front of house
- raised the crown of a silver birch tree
- wood chipped many branches
- staked some roses
- sanded down front gate and treated it with rust stabiliser
- painted render on back the house
- moved around 50 bricks to define border areas


probably spent an estimate of 100 to 120 hours on garden in last month so far.

and still got more to go with jet washing, staining and painting.

Ngl, totally read that wrong..

Damn you've been busy!
How the hell did you manage to mow the lawn 3 times? I haven't even done mine this lockdown yet, you got some super speedy growing grass where you live? lol

cos green bins have stopped i decided i'd do it every weekend without the box on so the grass just disappears/rots instead of having a big mound of the stuff in a few weeks and not having anywhere to put it.

and yeah very busy, done my nans and my auntys front gardens too.

Ah makes sense, I have a compost bin in the edge of my garden, so I should be alright. I did read something about green bins but I ignored it because I don't use the green bin that much.

I suppose it's nice enough weather to be gardening outside... for the UK anyway... Aren't you used to spain's nice and warm weather, or have you managed to climatised now?

@Sectional; it isn't too different in Britain atm to Spain weather wise tbh

i'm cold in Spain too tbh, i need like 30C+ to be comfortable

Oh, assumed their nice sunny weather came a lot earlier than ours.. We're only just starting to get mildly warm, aside from the odd random day here and there (like Monday I think, where it was 18c)

I'm the same though, need 30c+ - My mum lives in Belize and it's always hot over there, so when she comes back to the UK in the summer, it'll be like 22c here and she'll literally have goosebumps because for her it's cold lol.

It's pretty amazing how fast you can acclimate to weather, as when I went to visit her a year ago, I was sitting outside at night, it was about 24c, but I was cold, and I had to keep telling my body that it's stupid and it's wrong, it's hot. lol

That's easy to combat, pay a gardener and they'll take the waste away with them.

You in Scotland any time soon? my garden could do with some work

i hate mowing the lawn it's my least favourite job
