@Waira
Ah life can be cruel once your memory starts to fade, best take the weight off and have a cup of tea, eh old timer!
So as you see Monsieur,
"eet eez not moi, oo called zem "Buzzers eet was vous"! (As close to sounding French as I get)!

This what "
you" referred to as my "
Buzzers" and yes they did do 80% of the heavy lifting, when clearing the brambles!
They may not look like they could but they did! (the long blade, not the topiary trimming blade)!
As for thinking I live too near France, I wasn't the one who called them Buzzers lol
Are you sure you don't live near Canada or Louisiana, maybe you have some Cajun or Creole in you,?
I'm thinking in this instance, it may be you, who is living too near French speaking people!
Should I be calling you Monsieur Buzzer from now on?
In British gardening nomenclature, we don't usually call them "buzzers" we call them "hedge trimmers"!
I just used the word "you" called them as sometimes you use different words in "Merica" to those used in the UK and so I used the word that you would understand!
If you are going to roast someone for using a particular, or in this case a peculiar "word" best not be the one who used it first, huh?
(OK I'm done, I hope you didn't mind a little roasting back atcha, did you)?:smoking:

We also call them "Loppers" and or "Long handled secatuers" which is equally valid as a name, as it is what they are!
Another pic of the garden, this one is a bit of a closer view.

I'm done now spending on this grow, now it is just a mater of tending the garden and feeding/watering and reap the rewards.
Yeah the heat wave was a proper fly in the ointment and put back planting out the girls for two weeks, just as well I did multiple sowings!
Class 5 hurricanes, thank my lucky stars we don't get those here,I hope they pass by and leave you and your plants alone! Stay safe brother!
If it does come your way, grab those ruby slippers and ask Toto to sing "rains in Africa!
"Quote Waira - Still plenty fruity Arty ..(see what I did there?)
Yes indeed sir, very doll, my friend,
Blueberries, bananas, lemon and peanut, half way to making a canna museli!
All the fruitiness aside the plant I really want to try is the "Night Crawler" Heavy indica couchlock, I can't wait to enter into canna oblivion with her!
"Working in the coal mine" is a very apt song!
That clay was a lot of hard work!!
Next year I look for and nice easy to work Loam.
I bought a mini mattock/pick axe for the job and it was awesome.
(To avoid confusion we call an "Ax" an Axe")
When hold it I look like I am giant lol!
However it could only break the surface as once the hole got to a certain depth it, was not easy to use.
I then switched to the "Tiger Spade".

To give you an idea of the size, the shaft is only 38cm (15") long and it weighs 400 grams
It is drop forged and the head is removable which is great for transporting it!
I also bough a folding spade/shovel

A Tiger spade, which was brilliant for getting the clay broken up, so it could be shoveled out.

Transporting the girls in their transport vessels, was easy, no smell no suspicion.
No one gets stopped for having a heaving back pack there, so many students and festivals in my area, everyone and his dog has a bulging pack!
Then there is the lack of police, every time I walk through the central shopping area of my city, I smell weed everywhere, no one give a damn any more!
Thank so much for the karma and kind words
always very much appreciated!!
I'd also like to thank you for being the lead in the outdoor grow comp, "your a brick"!
(Your a brick is a UK expression - If you say that someone is a brick, you mean that they have helped you or supported you when you were in a difficult situation. You were a brick, a real friend indeed)
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be doing this grow!!!
:smoking:Waira for President!
I did start a bit late but I had to do a rush job on site locations and ground prep, which was further hindered by the heat wave!
If I do something, I don't like half measures!
Soil, soil amendments and ground prep, is a must, my girls always get the best I can give them and then they reward me for making life nice for them!
One thing I did forget is to do is an AFN Competition sheet for the photographs
, I do one next time I go up the plot!
I gave your last post a
as a little thank you for all you do for this comp for us all!
I hope I didn't roast you too hard earlier, we like a bit of fun..huh??
Until next time have a great week bro!
