Been over to Brid for the day, lovely weather. On the way, M62, a veccy C hatchback came flying past in the third lane. I was doing 80ish, so he must have been doing closer to 90. Rear window was smashed....oh dear. Not to worry, at least he could now fit a lawnmower in the boot with the handle sticking out of the back window.

it was warm today , extra aircon 
making the best of it would be....
sell the mower, astro turf or slab the garden
30 minutes of grass cutting a week = 26 hours a year

Smashed rear window...........the car then had been stolen and the thief was seeing how fast he could go away from the last robbery!

Must have been a real shortage of suitable getaway vehicles, then.

Next door neighbour :
Using an angle grinder to remove a Hawthorn bush, which took all day to remove to the tip, watch the fence fall down, because bush holding up fence. Pay for new fence panel. Then when he moved out 3 months later, having his deposit reduced to pay for a new bush. All because he didn't like gardening.

Trees should not hold up fences,clearly the fence had failed 

I do like gardening but flowers or veg ,I have my own aquaponics setup to filter my Koi pond water
I just think grass in a small garden is too labour intensive for little gain
I know 95% of people like grass and enjoy cutting the lawn ,but not me

I,ve got lawns,(smallish) front and rear. After last years searing heat which killed a lot of the grass i thought, that,s ok, it will grow back. But, a lot hasn,t so now all i do is just mow the tops off the dandelions and other weeds. As i live on a large, open plan estate, it,s not worth having a good lawn as all the crap from the neighbours gardens blows across to my patch anyway.

Some low life would probably nick it Dave. Like a gnome that disappeared a couple of years ago. He never did send a postcard.   Didn,t worry me, SWMBO likes ,em. I just think that they are a PITA when i,m trying to do the gardening.

I do not now have a garden

So, instead I use one of my daughters gardens instead! I have just planted £86 worth of plants in it, to add to the few hundreds I have spent before generally; new fence panels, play area with artificial grass under a trampoline for the kids, new borders and many, many shrubs, bushes and plants!

I obviously love gardening, so I  potter about and just sometimes sit down in the sun to relax and watch as insect and children life enjoy it

What joy!!
