flower piccies

[Rodders]

dont have any flowers this year in the garden, well no bedding plants. Just the hostas/ferns/maples/bamboo.

Might try seed my own bedding plants next year, otherwise it costs so much. I need around 60 plants to fill all my tubs!

i do a lot from seed,bulbs or cuttings
but fusias and busy lissies are cheap and fill out beautifully

or buy perennials rather then annuals

Hi Saph
I listen to every comment you make and quite proudly say look at my pic

[saph.st24]

its looking good try that miracle grow liquifeed cracking stuff
i have tried the miracle grow powder that you dissolve in to water but never had much luck with it got better results with tomato feed and fish waste  but the liquifeed is really good,

are you pruning your dead heads,seed pods prune these off and the plants will produce more flowers to try to produce the seeds it has lost 

as of friday 6am we are on a hose pipe ban but because we have the ponds we can still use it for this

[andykoitech]

Hi Saph,
 Yes I use miracle grow once a week and dead head the flowers. hose pipe ban? ignore it as every else will. Yes there is a dispensation if you have a fish pond but remember to water your plants with a watering can where there is full public view. It will be the jealousy of your neighbours that will get you reported. Pond water evaporates naturally and justifies the topping up through the hose pipe. Water changes are essential I know but adding minerals to the water will replace the trace elements without having to change tjhe water weekly in the present climate. I could help and advise more, just contact me. LOL

hi andy yes i know i can use it for the pond and it may just slip into the pots as i walk between ponds lol
i will water the front garden with the watering can as the sour faced trout over the road will grass anyone up but her own son
she thinks she better then everyone else walks around as tho shes got a bad smell under her nose (but i know the truth her son is a cocaine snorting thieving scrote who robbed his own mother and father, ( i have seen detained on several occassions i love my job keep meaning to ask her does her son like his shiney silver and black bracletts  )

Hi Saph
Your obviously on the ball where you stand with the neighbours. If needed, I have lots of clay trace elements if you need them. Your fish will thrive as per usual no matter what.Remember, just contact me and I will help all I can if push comes to shove.

thanks andy
i may take you up on the offer eventually but for the moment everything is ok
not too much water lose due to the heat in either pond, got tons of air going into both the ponds.
and my neighbour doesnt get on with anyone her poor husband is just fine its her she really has got a few issues

[andykoitech]

Hi Saph,
She's obviously insecure and ravaged with jealousy oover something

[saph.st24]

god knows what her issue with us is she has never spoke to us in the 18 yrs we have lived here

[andykoitech]

My neighbour opposite is the same, all because when I used to park my car on the road outside the house it meant they couldn't.  22 years on, a drive on the front of my house with 3 cars on [just about] and they are still jealous because they have only got 1 car

[saph.st24]
