Horticultural Disharmony

Father has made a point of doing something with this bit of otherwise descolant bit of soil we have out front, we tried planting tulips, which died quickly. Now he decided to transfer some flowers we already had from another part of the garden, it was very anarchaic. Most of them ended up with broken stems and one of them ended up on the floor:








Yes... the wheelbarrow tipped over...



Lack of skills seems to run in the family...

Oh god. Horticulture.

They definitly blend in with the soil.

No hug for you in London.

Ah, you know summer's started when parents get you gardening.

And promptly destroy it. I was in favour of getting potted plants and planting them, but oh no!

We've stuck an 8ft paddling pool on ours

I wish our garden at the moment had room for more than just a rotary washing line. I can't wait until we move back in.

John, your soil looks like shit. Lose the stones, add some peat and normal soil.

It's clay

Lose it, you're only goint to get "hard" plants growing there, like weeds. If you can't do the whole soil, get some cheap shallow tubs, plant in them, place them in the soil.

Also compost, mix a bit of sand if you're growing something fancy/fragile.

AF IS FOR GARDENING.

With the amount of clay there is, I doubt he'll need sand. ¬_¬

Well someone's a horticultural engineer!

What do you find so hard about gardening? It's really easy.

I helped someone's garden once. I was at a friends house and her mum requested that in exchange for beer, when I needed to pee, I do it into a pot outside and subsequently pour it into the compost

The plants got so much more than they bargained for.
