My front grass is the best it’s ever looked at this time of year.

Backyard mostly good except one patch that during winter gets little sun and too much water

Yeah, my gardens are looking the best they've ever looked.
Mind you, getting a gardener about 6 months ago might have something to do with it. :lol:

Do you have to be careful with rust stains with this stuff? Got some granular iron once and it ruined a good bloody t shirt...

I did spray Seasol after cutting on Saturday, I will now do it every fortnight until April. Haven’t used that one before, I’ll search it up. It’s quite green already

Why would you spray it in a good t shirt l?

In the last fortnight :

The snow peas and pumping, picking 30-40 a night.

Tomatoes have come up in the pots, waiting for the snow peas to wilt and they'll go in the ground.

Rose bushes are bursting with new life, leaves are thick, green and healthy. New growth looks amazing.

Lawns have all had a mow then 7 days later a Weed and Feed, that was on Tuesday night so Sunday will be a light mow.
Next weekend a heavy mow / dethatch will be on the cards.

Plan today was to put my summer veggies in after getting it all juiced up and prepared the past fortnight, picked them up early this morning set for a full day in the garden. Absolutely bucketing down here. Puddles all over the place. BOM say 5mm fallen, I reckon I’ve had at least 3 times that amount in an hour

My tomatoes, chillis, strawberries and cucumbers are going nuts!

Got some new chickens 8 days ago, tripled in size already.

Smart man. If you drown your plants and lawn in seasol throughout summer you won’t have any issues with plants and lawn burning from the heat.

Applying any fertilizer over 30° is crazy.

Most fertilizers will have a similar warning, some will be 25°, in short it may burn the grass/plants if it's too warm even if you water in well.

If I need too I'll apply later at night or first thing in the morning and water in well.

Has anyone successfully used a clover weed killer on a couch lawn that’s pet friendly, or is it a unicorn?
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
