This sort of pricking out -

I'm working on my breakfast garden.
The beans are doing well, the mushrooms are nearly ready and so are the egg plants. My problem @Joey66 is that I haven't had any success with the bacon. Any ideas?

PS The nearest I got was fixing a trip wire around the garden. It doesn't help with the bacon situation but it makes a pretty good 'ambush.

Got my mower back from the lawn mower mender bloke today. Mowed the front, then the side, then the back. (Its meadow grass, so you know its not straight forward).

Then I was confronted with the garden anarchy of the lower patch. (beyond the orchard). Holy smoke mate. Bear in mind I havnt laid a glove on it for 2 years, maybe 3.

Might need to take the chain saw to lawn mower man if I cant get it buzzing tomorrow.

Yep. Still got the bottle of poison you suggested as well. Bamboo has stabilised, so will deal with it as and when. Got a garden plan now the grass is cut.

Got tons on of time as well, for the first time in years.
