I did consider this - we do indeed have overhanging trees. Will the seed I've bought last till then? Not sure on shelf life but I'd hate to waste it!

It will last a couple of years at least if kept cool and dry.

Warwick Davis would be chuffed with that fence.Put a new fence up
Does this stuff go off?
Got it like 2 years or so ago and never got to use it. Thinking maybe use it today. But not sure if I will **** my grass up

Not really but it might not be quite as effective as the fresh stuff
As long as it was stored in a cool dry place it'll be fine.

I used a bag of this the other week that had been in my shed for 3 years. Seemed to work fine (y)Does this stuff go off?

Any opinions on mini-greenhouses for growing things chillies or other small amounts of stuff?
This kind of thing I'm talking about:
I don't have space for a full size greenhouse what with the patio, shed, wildflower garden and some lawn but something like the above would fit well against the back wall of the house and it would be directly.South facing and get tons of light and direct sun.
Anyone got one?
What have you grown in it?
Are they worth it if you get a decent one?
I don’t have a proper greenhouse (much as I’d love one), but I do have a Lidl special exactly like that one. It’s been really useful for getting plants out in the garden early in the season. Chillies, tomatoes and aubergines good early on, but soon outgrow the small size.
TIL robot mowers exist. Ofc they do!Fertilised my lawn 2 months ago and combined with the robot mower constantly taking clippings, it's like an absolute carpet compared to when we moved in, for very little effort.

We've recently (well, a year ago lol) moved into what will probably be our last stop.
Lovely place which ticks all the boxes, if perhaps a little to much on the garden.
For us it's absolutely huge, going as far left as you can see, but also another 30 meters down past the wall, into what has become very overgrown with bushes and trees.
to be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed with it, I've maintained the bits you can see, but beyond that I've not idea how to deal with it and where to start.
Some of the garden, about 2.5 meters past the patio, is going to get eaten up by the extension we've got planned, (a whole other new stress that I'm going through for the first time).
I had the idea of perhaps cutting a path down through it all to where the biggest tree is, and turning into some sort of fairy forest walk for my daughter, putting some solar lights into the trees etc.
Or just selling it, there's space there for a few houses I imagine.
all this will have to wait until summer 24 when I get some leave though, at the moment we are just enjoying it.

There's a lot of work in that garden @uksoldierboy. Nice to have all that space but can become overwhelming if you don't have the time to keep on top of it. Honestly, I would look into a robot mower to at least keep on top of all the grassed areas even if it just allows yo more time to maintain the rest. There's at least an hour of cutting there with a standard mower

I would not sell any of that land for housing.......i would put fruit trees in there and add to the view and not spoil it with houses.We've recently (well, a year ago lol) moved into what will probably be our last stop.

Apple and Pear trees would be a good shout. They only require a some care when planted and then pruning once a year in Winter.... A Wildflower section would also be an idea. Again, a little bit of effort in the first 2-3 years then they generally take care of themselves.
