What did you do in your garden today?

[big rockpile]

Watered stuff in pots.

Hung my Onions to dry.

I have one of those kneelers you can turn up the other way and sit on, that works. I also have an old white plastic chair I pull around sometimes, more awkward, but more comfortable and a bit lower.

They won’t work with one arm. If I go all the way down I can’t get up. Have to call 911

Been digging out tires my son was planting in.

Never plant in Tractor Tires unless you plan on leaving them forever.

Asked my son what he wanted me to do with the tires?

He has changed. Well soon as you dig them up I’ll take care of them.

Use to be Dad I put them there I’ll dig them up. That’s ok I’ll split the wood you left there. I need the exercise.

Filling in holes in lawn where badgers have been digging looking for grubs etc. They are a protected species in U.K. so it is illegal to kill them does anyone have a suggestion to keep them out the garden. Unfortunately we have an open front garden with no fences etc.

Have the same problem, I was recently told "They only dig in Spring." Not in my garden. Citrus fruits were mentioned as a repellent somewhere, orange peel does seem to be working to a degree. The other suggestion that seemed like it might work, but I haven't tried, was to leave a radio on, maybe not such a good idea in an open front garden. I am told they hunt worms by smell, so smelly things generally may well work, paraffin?

I powerwashed my white vynil fence. It was over 90F. It took a few hours and I sweat more than I have in a long time. Had 11 grams of salt pills in two bottles of water 3 cans of coke 2 bottles of Gatorade.

I had problems with badgers in my previous garden @Sluggy and @Oliver Buckle. I didn't dissuade them but they stopped digging and headed for the slabs laying under my bird feeding station where there were scraps of food. Seeds, pieces of apple etc. Try setting a slab aside for them and put food out just before dusk, no meat of course as that will attract vermin. Badgers will eat just about anything.

Found my high powered pump action rifle. That should do the trIck. Better mention it is a water firing rifle.

My wife has a guy come in and help me. He broke an old pick handle.

We went to town I found a whole Pick cheaper than a handle. And Fiberglass Handle.

Got them Tires dug out.

I was going to water since it has been so hot. They all seemed well.

Come home told that guy now let’s see you break this handle. Man he takes things so serious.
