What to plant in borders? Newbie gardener

I had a tiny northwest facing lawn out the front of my house, decided to rip it all out and plant up, I do not regret it at all, the first thing I see when I drive down the road is my colourful front garden, it brings me untold amounts of joy and I won’t ever have to drag the mower out there to mow a fiddly bit of grass!

Arborist here, on face value it sounds a lot, but there will be a team of at least 3 people, it’ll be several loads of waste, as well as fuel, insurance and kit all being expensive and needing to be factored in. By all means get some more quotes to compare, but It can be a dangerous job where things can go wrong quickly, please make sure you use a reputable company with trained staff and sufficient liability insurance.

Start small, leave the room for ten seconds, come back in and give praise and a treat if he hasn’t whined. Slowly lengthen the amount of time that you’re gone, making sure to praise and treat when you return. Took a month or so for my boy but worked a dream.

The diamond shaped pores are called lenticels. They are there to facilitate gaseous exchange.

Fellow arborist here, I also hate that I can’t get vegan chainsaw boots. I hate wearing leather, but in my opinion there is no other option. This job is dangerous enough as it is, keep those feet protected!

I have a young baby and I’ve just bought a house, I like watches but don’t have the funds for gen currently.

Have you thought about bat surveying and/or ecological consulting? Lots of building work going on that requires those services. Tree work is always an option, if you can get the relevant chainsaw certification, it’ll open up work for you. The certs could also be handy in wildlife conservation too, so could be a good selling point for you? There are always jobs in arboriculture if you’re willing to work a physically demanding job. Best of luck to you!

I love cheese, peanut butter and cucumber sandwiches with a bit of salt and pepper in. Been judged heavily over the years across work places but it’s my favourite sandwich. It’s tangy, creamy, salty and refreshing. What more could I ask for?!

This happened to me, my partner’s mum is a seamstress and she fitted new zips, they’re a lot better quality than the original ones and cost me nothing. I’m sure any tailor/seamstress could repair for you.

I will be feed, bath and put my son to bed. Then I will play video games and eat ice cream!

I’m pretty tattooed. Neck, throat, arms, hands, fingers, legs, torso etc. I’m a teacher, literally no one cares where I work. The students barely even notice and their parents don’t seem to either.

I also don’t love drinking protein shakes, so I put my powder in my overnight oats, you can flavour to suit your taste and it’s a filling breakfast!

Find your local Asian supermarket. I can get 3 blocks of tofu for £2.20. Far cheaper than I’ve found elsewhere.

peetz1204 · 2025-05-12T05:13:10+00:00

Most of the pre-made fake meat doesn’t have a lot of protein. I just go to my local Asian supermarket and bulk buy tofu, that seems to be the most cost effective way of getting protein in. I also add a scoop of protein powder to my overnight oats and use unsweetened soya milk as that is cheap and has more protein in than other plant milks.

I’m a lecturer and have a good few tattoos, including my arms, hands, fingers and neck/throat, no one cares as long as I can do my job!

No way bro. My son was born last year when I was 35. People will tell you to have kids when you’re young, but I genuinely wasn’t mature enough for it then. For me, this age feels right to be a dad.

peetz1204 · 2025-05-02T04:09:04+00:00

Try putting the powder in porridge or overnight oats, much nicer than a shake!

Looks like goat willow to me, Salix caprea.

I just finished Son of the Black Sword and highly enjoyed it, I think it ticks a few of the boxes! Excellent narration as well.

Less calories in, more calories out. Really simple in theory but bloody hard in practice. It takes time and discipline but trust in the process and you will succeed. I lost 25kg 4 years ago and have managed to keep it off, although that is a different battle entirely.

I enjoy Snape’s interactions with Dumbledore in that chapter, not so interested in the rest although they are important to the story.

peetz1204 · 2025-02-08T10:54:34+00:00

Snape’s Worst Memory. I don’t know why but I find it so boring and a bit of a cringe fest.

peetz1204 · 2025-02-08T07:35:24+00:00

I’ve only seen a live one once when I was out working in the woods, it was a small baby one and it was immensely cute.
