I don't do fish, they eat all the other cool stuff. It's a shame as they make a pond interesting.

Great time to take Soft wood cuttings - divide your hardy perennials from the base, plus if the night is going to be a cold one shut your Cold frames - Tunnels - greenhouses down early to build the temperature overnight - a good time to start making hanging baskets up and harden them off before hang straight up feeding once per week if it gets too windy always take them down & place on a pot till the wind dies down as they can get damaged badly any time in the future .... 
Never know where to throw these photos...Earth Porn, Boss Photos etc...this is probably the best. Anyhow, more cacti blooms...they've been poppin' for a month or so....welcome to the desert.
My wife & I spent a couple of hours planting our wall baskets up today - we used a multi purpose compost with bone meal & SR pellets mixed well in each container -
The plants we used were plugs on the net potted on in a greenhouse, but hardened off outside for the last 2-3 weeks we will let them establish before putting up - Wall baskets IMO are better than hanging baskets if you are in a windy location - I will feed once per week once established fully - after watering feed after watering once a week once really established one wee a high nitrogen - 2nd week a high potassium feed - in general water most days in hot weather - remember any high wind forecast drop them onto a container on the floor before hanging back up as wind will ruin them ....

I just mowed the lawn, back and front.
let it grow for a week & weed & feed it - you can mow it when it gets to 3 inches then & do a reseed mixed with compost in the gaps that will reappear when the weeds die .... make sure it's wet before using the weed & feed ....

I hate gardening, and dream of moving into a dockside flat, near Bramley Moore Dock.
I gathered that lol if you have a pet, dont use Weed & Feed - if other pets like cats mess on your garden save your pee in an empty milk carton each night - & pour sprinkle etc it at the edge of your lawn boundary - your scent will mark your boundary as cats are territorial & they will clear off - dont pour it on your lawn a 50/50 mix of urine & water will not do your soil border any harm - its the best deterent for cats & urban foxes ....

I just did the back lawn, then I got half way through the front when my mower decided to go kaput. It currently looks like somebody who's barber died half way through their haircut.
Very frustrating - get a new one on Amazon not worth the cost of repair or check the fuse on your plug first - Flymo with a box is what we use ...... Cheap enough.......or get around the car boots I paid £10 for one lasted ten years ......I just did the back lawn, then I got half way through the front when my mower decided to go kaput.

Thanks @Joey66
Mine is also a flymo that I've had for about 5 or 6 years.
It's just the drive belt that's snapped so I've ordered a new belt.
(They are £13 from the official flymo shop online, but I found one through drivebeltsolutions.co.uk for £4-25p)
It should be delivered by Wednesday, so the garden will just have to remain like me until then (half cut) lol
It's happened to me lawn half done let's hope we can get full cut tomorrow with 3 pointsThanks @Joey66

Saw this the other day and thought it would be perfect for some people on here?
