Dead grass

So I sprayed weedkiller and killed a bunch of grass, pretty smart!

Anyway some survived (see below) and I planted more. Other than that the scorching UK weather has meant things wilt or flourish. The pictures tell more than I ever could (it was dark when I took them though so they're a little out of focus).

New and old (dead) grass up close



Longer view


Higher view!


Onion bud! I think this may be an onion flower, is there such a thing?


Onion (left) and a very busy pot of things that look like (but aren't) weeds.


I moved the camera whilst taking this but I like it.


I thought these tall things were gonna flower but I could be mistaken, still they look nice.


Forementioned busy pot


Wild Strawberries (left), big leafed thing and under the yellow shopping basket is mint (the basket is to stop the squirrel).


Here is where I moved the spinach to, they love it here. I also planted sweet chillis in the blank space.


The beginning stages of an pumpkin and some sunflowers that need replanting.


another (less focused) view of the above.

Day ??? - Long time...



I figured daily updates were pretty dull but I perhaps left it a little bit too long. Also most of these photos are quite old now. Anyway above we have a pot that looks far more crowded now. Lucky Clovers are fully out and it's great.


Some leafy bulb things groing.




Views of the grass - since this I've put weedkiller down and killed half the grass. It's bad. I sewed more tonight though, so have to see if it gets sorted before the end of summer.



Some different angles of a leafy thing thats growing at an angle.


Lucky Clover - which is now much bigger.


New plants have arrived - more of this in the next update


Sweet peas - protected from the squirrel - hopefully.



Spinach - I've since added a glass cover to protect from the squirrel.

I'll try not to leave it as long next time.
