[NSC] Your garden.

[Leekbrookgull]

I had hoped that at the end of September that was it for cutting the grass and a trim of the hedge/shrubbery. However the very mild October has put an end to that, sure it's dark night's again and even a touch of frost this morning but it's yet to stop our garden from being active. You?

 

[Frutos]

Our garden is still looking colourful, thanks to the efforts of our gardener.

 

[RandyWanger]

It's very wet. Grass needs a cut ready for some treatment but it's not been dry enough for long enough. Recovered well after the drought though.

 

[BNthree]

I don't have a garden.

We have a bloke who comes round to cut our grass every fortnight and on Wednesday, he did the last cut of the season.

You might have to tell the grass that with all this sunshine and mild weather...

 

[Berty23]

Gave mine the last cut this afternoon. Was a little damp but it needed to be done. Only a small garden anyway but I have a garden office and someone told me I need to cut the grass when they saw over my shoulder in a meeting.

Our 'garden' is a never ending job... clearing branches and fallen trees this weekend and next etc...

So he's delivered le coup de grace?

Waiting to do what i hope will the last cut of the year, but it's too wet. If it stays dry tonight and tomorrow morning, I might give it a go before kick off tomorrow

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I've got some spring bulbs starting to come through. How do I tell them to go back?

 

[southstandandy]

It's so mild here in Shoreham I've even seen a few daffodil shoots appearing - what gives?

The great thing is we won't need the heating on until January at the earliest at this rate.

Next door neighbour has a massive weeping willow which deposits thousands of leaves everytime the wind blows.
They did say that they were going to get it cut right back so fingers crossed

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I'll probably need to cut it twice more before christmas.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I’ve got a huge willow, two fully grown oaks and five other mature trees in the garden (as well as three large conifers) and live next to a wood so am buried under leaves at present.The trees in the wood are mainly ash and are on their last legs. The grass is still growing and had the winter moss treatment today.

I had one of those until last November. Lovely to look at but blocked most of the sun from our garden and as you say, a little bit of wind, thousands of mini willow twigs to pick up. I now have a mans cave in its place.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Plastic grass, always green and hose pipe ban free. After 5 years of failing to master a real lawn, I bloody love my lush astro turf - Nou Camp is the name.

 

[Weststander]

For many years now I’ve had to mow the lawn up until the end of November, grass grows when surface soil temps exceed 8c.

Probably a week or two later than it was ….. season creep from climate change.

Growing up on the south coast, November was never a truly cold month.

Just raise the deck and take the top off…it’ll help…

I’ll be cutting until end of November…unless we get a series of frosts….then lawns can have a three month rest and at least starting with a tidy look.

Ditto here.

I use mowing in November to also hoover up leaves.
