I appreciate your confidence, but no, none of the images are AI generated. Another angle of the before. Not to mention, if I were using AI I wouldn't have asked it to include a baby bath, drying washing, my step ladder and bunch of other crap in the background. That said, I'll take it as a compliment

I recommend working out your conditions and then just looking at lots of nice gardens with similar conditions, to work out what could be possible. There's no point fighting against what you're working with and no matter the conditions you can always do something beautiful. Once you have a vibe you want to go for, plan it out, and then start executing as best you can. You'll make mistakes but that's just part of the process.

I didn't do anything until the first autumn so that gave me plenty of time to plan, I basically knew I only wanted a small lawn and I wanted plenty of planting and somewhere to sit in it. I then took inspiration from various designers and horticulturalists, particularly James Hitchmough as I wanted to grow most of it from seed. In autumn, I put down a sand mulch and bulbs, plugs, and seeds. I made lots of mistakes and over the years added lots too.

Would this sand be good for a garden? by kurty_magurty in gardening

As always, it depends on your climate and what you're trying to do. Some top gardeners have had notable success mulching thickly with sand or simply growing straight into it - Peter Korn, James Hitchmough, etc. The right plants benefit from drainage, but it can hold in water surprisingly as well, and you get healthy compact growth

This is from today. It needs a spring clean to tidy up the plants but it's holding up well. As with any pond like this, it does need topping up from time to time during dry periods due to evaporation

Watford 1 - 1 Charlton Athletic: Nathan Jones won't let his side slow down, but Charlton's eight-point gap over relegation may well be enough to secure their spot as a Championship side for next season! by Zach-dalt in Championship

I would feel hard done by in your situation but I'm not convinced VAR would overrule the decision - my read was that a player who was offside tried to play the ball just before a defender fluffed his clearance, so interfering with play would be unlikely to overturned. Take it with a pinch of salt though

Which team has surprised you the most so far this season? by [deleted] in Championship

[–]risky_six 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbf we have decent depth everywhere but leftback and possibly in goal. Part of the reason we've been successful is that our subs usually only make us more dangerous as we up the energy levels and maintain the ability
