What is this shit?

 

I thought you were supposed to be starting a Schwarzenegger / action movie thread?

 

Gardening?

 

GTFO

 

(I fucking hate gardening, btw)

 

I'm trying to live a peaceful existence in the mountains with my deer and soon to be soft core porn star daughter.

 

That shit is a comin' young man. Never you fear.

I'm married and in my 30s, John, so obviously gardening is something I've started getting into. When we bought the house, we completely ripped out the garden so we'd have a clean slate. I've had a new lawn done, and set out all the flowerbeds with brick surrounds, and now we're planting up.

 

We've gone the Good Life route, so it's pretty much all fruit and veg. I've got 2 semi-dwarf apple trees, a cherry, a plum, raspberry canes, blueberry bushes, a bramble that I need to find space for. Mrs Loki is looking after the veg patch, so we've got parsnips, leeks, lettuce, and loads of other stuff I've forgotten. I've also assembled a mini-polytunnel and we've got tomatoes, chillis and peppers kicking off in there.

 

It's become the main thing I do on weekends now, though hopefully that will ease off once it's all planted and growing. Gardening is hugely relaxing and a nice way to spend time in the sun, and at the end we'll get to eat a lot of our own homegrown stuff, which will be cool.

This is what happens when you give up smoking weed, kids. You suddenly have a lot more time on your hands ;)

Alyssa Milano is 40. How crazy is that.

 

Also, garden sucks.

I'd love to have a proper garden but my rented 2 up 2 down just has a 5 foot wide, 50 foot long stretch of lawn and I'm not allowed to dig it all up to plant stuff. last year I did 60 or so chilli plants in pots but that's about all I've managed. Hopefully when I move in with the lady at some point we can start growing things. Definitely more interested in growing food rather than flowers.

Gardening is one of my most hated activities ever, luckily I have no grass but have a fairly big back garden and and front garden than needs attention. I try to leave the wife to do it as she likes having a garden, I'd happily tarmac the fucker and never have to pick up a weed ever again.

 

I do like growing herbs in my herb garden and planting potatoes in tubs as they are actually useful and it's like being a caveman. Pretty plants and flowers? Fuck off!

We're transforming the garden at the moment, as those of you on my facebook have seen. Dug up all the beds again, taken out all unruly bushes, we have even painted the wall white. Just now we pulled out the pampas grass down the bottom and we're refencing the bottom of the garden with a new gate. Once that's up we'll returf the bit at the end of the garden which is gravel/mud. Then it's just tarting up the place and putting decking down on the little bit of concrete space at the top end by the house. Will be a nice little area to sit and eat.

 

Then the front garden is all being dug up and gravel put down.

 

I'm a busy bee.

How can I stop the cunt neighbour cats shitting and pissing all over our garden without putting down anti freeze or something? I want them to sod off, not die.

You can buy spray at garden centres. No harm to animals or plants but it keeps critters away.

Put little wire fences up in the gaps of the hedges if possible that would prevent entry for the cat. My little bastard of a cat cannot enter my neighbors due to them being up, and their Dog cannot chase the little git when he teases it.

When cat shit and cats attempting to fuck up my aubergene plants last year became a serious problem I laid orange peel down in the garden.

 

I can't vouch for the science behind it, but they hated it and stopped visiting.

You can get cant & dog repellent powder from supermarkets/Wilko's, It smells like garlic but seemingly works. I had to buy some last week as I mowed the lawns for the first time this year a couple of weeks ago & was essentially just chopping up cat shit. Every 3 feet I got the whiff of freshly cut poo.
