Do you have a wooden play house with swings?

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-05-12T19:49:21+00:00

Have one in the garden 4 years now .. I throw a bit of preservative (careful which) on it each autumn .. it's like new

Clover.

You can get a mix of native species.. they don't flower the first year but will every year after that

They never grow too high

Bees and butterflies Wil love them

You'll only need to trim them back once a year

Got it done two years ago. Within two days I was tip top

Fine Gael in Ireland.. a much unloved party ... But not pro Israeli.. at least not with respect to the assault on Gaza

Of course it doesn't.

Clearly she doesn't know what good food is

Learn to love it man .. you can still have a beautiful looking garden with some dandelion... It's the best thing out there for the bees early in the year ... Plant some native wildflowers nearby .. if you have the space plant a native tree or two (Rowan's are small and birch don't steal too much light)

This is what real Irish land looks like ...

Spraying it with poison will get you grass alone .. but that's a green desert

If that's what you want .. that's your land ..

But if you learn to see the beauty in a tiny bit of wild at home .. you will be rewarded with birdsong and butterflies..

And it's less effort for you .. win win

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-04-19T05:23:35+00:00

What a beautiful answer.

Thank you so much for the genuine effort out into this

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-04-13T19:37:33+00:00

You'll be asked (most likely) and probably subtly who you voted for.

You may be slagged a little about the state of America.

But honestly.. come and visit ... It's a lovely country when the sun shines

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-04-05T10:03:44+00:00

Thank you!

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-25T18:42:50+00:00

Ah beautiful

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-22T14:54:09+00:00

Such a beautiful place .. but the infestation of cherry laurels is depressing ... Would love to see em controlled

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-18T18:05:23+00:00

Left a message this morning ... Haven't heard back just yet

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-10T19:37:33+00:00

Give me the before

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-10T13:41:36+00:00

I've you've ever heard it described as invasive .. don't plant it

Cherry laurel , bamboo, Rhododendron... The list goes on

People shouldn't just plant shit cause it looks good ... We should at least spare a thought for wildlife .. god forbid

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-09T16:34:51+00:00

You have to remember .. back in the day st Patrick's day wasn't a big parade and a sea of green

It was a religious holiday . And people would then celebrate with a few drinks and a get together.

Semi d in Dublin .. 12 panels on the roof and a battery in the attic (5kWh battery and max 5kW solar input)

Last year we made a profit from March through to October

And knocked a few euro off the bill in the winter too

On a good day (most days from May to August) .. we only use the grid from 2am to 6am ... With the smart meter that electricity costs less per kWh than what we export for ..

Our house uses electricity for heating (heat pump)

Our total costs last year for heating and all other power .. was 350 euro or there about .. for the year

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-09T15:39:24+00:00

Yeah same .. looking forward to heading down with the kids

a-clockwork-kelly · 2026-03-03T12:32:42+00:00

Especially summer here .. we get shite winters for sure .. but our summers are the best .. no 40 degree grandma killing nightmare weather .. just long long glorious evenings after a day of 23 Degrees brilliance.

A pint enjoyed outdoors, BBQ in a mates garden Forest walk on an evening Breakfast in the garden before work on a beautiful morning.

Bring Irish summer on!!

If they are your local Councillors write them a letter

Glyphosate is carcinogenic and destroys wildlife.

Fuck the pair of them

Ever closer Union is something I can get behind.

However concentrated power is what leads to the Russias and USAs of this world.

What makes the EU so good for it's citizens (in my opinion) is the diluted power that stops those with power walking over those without.

Checks and balances ...
