EADD Gardening Club: Ploughing FUBAR's infertile Fields

I'm an educated greenhouse and productions-gartner (produktionsgartner, as its called in Danish, is similar but focuses more on outdoor gardening of various stuff-not just decorative plants but also edibles). It was an interesting education, but a bit of a pain in the ass having to learn all those Latin plant names by heart. AND we got to drive a tractor, hehe.

After that, all my jobs have more or less been in that field. I've worked at commercial gardening plants, as a city park gardener and cemetery gardener/maintenance man.

It's a great hobby, and very healthy. It can also get real addictive and time consuming, but that's all good. Can get really into it if you have a talent or an interest for it.

lol @ MM

I planted approx 150 spring bulbs yesterday. Mainly crocuses but also daffs bluebells snowdrops and tulips. dodgy planting techniques but surely they can't all fail to come up :|

we did all our bulbs last weekend.

yeah they come up fine, however shoddy, as long as they not too shoddy...lol, that makes no sense, but I know you know what i mean..
 
Yes, I do have quite a spacey balcony and eventhough I only get morning light, I have managed to have some success with all manners of roses, peonies etc. Obviously that sun is important, but you'll have to make do with what ya got.
 
Back for 2013! Let's look forward to the shitty fag-encrusted soil giving forth new life in a couple of months.

I found a wasps nest in a pile of rocks I had been dumping grass clippings over - they've made a big tunnel in and it seems really active. I nearly shoved a garden fork in it 8o

Off to google what you do with a wasps nest, cos its right by the veg patch and can't stay. At least now I know why the dogs face swelled up a few weeks ago and I took 2 stings out of her muzzle.

Do you live in Norwich perchance?
 
No thank fuck, other side, I'd be shitting myself if I did :)

Jancrow - if you have a new garden to fill Morrisons is brilliant for good quality cheap plants. I dont know when they get their spring stock in but its worth stalking them if you've got one nearby.
 
our daffs have been up for over a month down here already. Not sure how well our magnolia tree is gonna do this year...for some reason not many bud sites developing on it.

Saves sweeping up petals constantly I suppose if it does give a poor show.

What a picture. It's the guy in the karate suit that just makes it!
 
Blimey, that was not what I expected when I innocently clicked on the gardening thread 8o

My courtyard-area-thingumy is a right state. Need to sort some pots out this year. I'm not going to ask you guys what I should grow, as I've done this the last 2 years and been given excellent advice, so I'll dig that out instead ;) thinking tomatoes, chillis, courgettes, potatoes, herbs, salad leaves and perhaps something else..
 
Haha. I've grown all those before, so quite fancy trying something new. My courtyard-thingy (never know how to describe it - I'm in a top floor flat in a small apartment building but have patio doors opening out onto it, it's on the flat below's roof I guess, and has a weird plasticy floor haha) is sheltered and south-facing, so pots do really well there. Maybe aubergines? Is that even possible?
