[NSC] Your garden.

I let mine grow wild most of the year with a small area for a table and chairs etc and a patio for barbecues and outdoor masturbation.
I much prefer to see butterflies and birds out there than clean edges, water thirsty lawns and cheap Homebase garden furniture. Leave it to nature, it always makes a better job of things than humans.

Has Mr Winstanley been round to mow that for you?
We have an assortment of flowers in bloom . . . . lawn was cut yesterday . . . global warming innit.
he pinched the nets off those goal posts, Barbs been round for all your lids too.
I've had to mow the lawn until the end of November for years now. Sussex simply doesn't have cold Novembers.
The mean November daily max on the Sussex coast is 12c, grass grows with a soil temperature of 6c or more.
The temperature outside just now is 13.4c here.

We've always had bees such as bumblebees in January, feasting on Pulmonaria and Hellebores.
They only truly disappear in rare snow.

Same here, the guy did the last cut on Thursday but the grass still appears to be growing so it'll either be very long by March or he'll be back out again
Wow. Lovely mate. I’d refer to this as “land” rather than “a garden”. Beautiful mate.

On behalf of others on here, let’s hope that your patio activities are not simultaneous.

When you say 'fencing off a bit of field', if you are extending the curtilage of your residential garden into an agricultural field, then you need planning permission. Just saying.Still plenty of colour but not much maintenance to do now. Garlic planted mid Oct is growing like crazy, some autumn onion sets going in today, then starting a project fencing off a bit of field to create a big new pond and a meadow (or just wild) area with some new hedging - Been taking saplings from anyone who would share, have about 100 Hazel, Oak, Alder, Hawthorn and Willow to go in. Have hundreds of Beech, Hazel and Oak seed being prepared in various ways to see if I can grow them! I'm getting a thing for trees
That's it, enjoy it! Let some of it go wild as well, see what grows!

The most curious thing..
I finally decided the courgette plants weren't going to produce anything more that was edible, although they were still trying.
Now resting in peace with the compost.
