Hello all, just joined the forum
My garden doesn't look as tidy as most of yours, I'm afraid... I use no dig method for most of the garden.
This morning did a bit of deweeding in flower bed, carrots, around raspberries that are taking over the world and around the border with the wild bit of the garden. Also pruned some swiss chard, raspberries, gooseberries and tops of red currants attacked by annoying aphids.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Nice photos, you have a fair bit going on there in ways that quite remind me of my garden in places. I have a piece of lawn by the house that I work on to rid of moss and improve the grass, but in other places there are plenty of daisies and red and white clover, I don't want to suppress everything.

I don't know what sort of spinach, but I do tend to cut mine down to ground level when it bolts and get one last cut.

Sorry, don't know what happened there, the above was in reply to Blackthumbs earlier post, but somehow it didn't attach.

I bought a new gas powered edger today. I also weeded my raised beds and dug really deep to try to get to the deepest roots of the stupid Bermuda grass growing in them. I also pulled some Romaine lettuce for dinner and it is so good!! We have two other kinds of lettuce as well (I forgot what type) and we are able to mix up a very tasty salad!

Getting ready to trim more Poison Ivy back off of my fence line and also trim some limbs hanging over from my neighbor's property. They are low enough to almost knock me off my riding lawn mower when I cut the grass. LOL

I think we are going to plant some more spinach too.

Did a bit this morning, as I've the Women's final French Open Tournament to watch this afternoon. Result may be a formality, but I'll watch anyway.
Gave my "Monet" acer a bit of shaping, just a few small bits to prune off. It's in its pink/yellow/pale green stage, it will change to a darker shade of green later in the summer.

I call it my "Monet acer "as it looked like this a year after we bought it, back in 2014, before I got "at it,"

It reminded me of the second figure that is suposed to be a child, (not a poodle) in Monet's, "Sunlight Under the Poplars."
There's a graphic of this painting on one of my jukeboxes.

Pruned a bit of unwanted new growth from these wisterias.

Gave all the pots a water and a bit of feed. We've had some rain lately but they still need watering every other day.

Gave the lawn some feed. The moss has gone and it's looking quite good, just a couple of very small scruffy patches at the far end, but they will soon recover.

I had my juxboxes playing whilst I was pottering about. When not in use they have these covers over them I sewed by hand (my wife no longer has a sewing machine) out of some old thermal backed curtains. I made them by draping a curtain over each and then cut and sewed around them. Fortunately, they kept still whilst I was doing it and didn't complain.

One of the seams on the small one was starting to come undone, so I had to get a needle and cotton out to repair it.

All done, I think I'll have my lunch.

Thank you, Oliver! We have some moss on the lawn, it is very stubborn. Good luck with improving yours

Fought with several branches from the neighbor's trees. Fought with a bunch more poison ivy. Mowed the backyard. Pulled some more weeds from the raised beds and also from the red mulch around the hibiscus plants. Still need to trim the yard. That takes quite some time.

I bought a nice Troy-Bilt edger yesterday. I'm excited to edge the driveway. It's about 800 feet of edging, so it'll take a while.

We are planning to do some landscaping behind our garage. It's too difficult to mow due to the angle of the yard. My mower would roll over. So, we're going to build some terracing and make the terraces a flower garden for pollinators and such.

This is a photo of the garage from up near the house. Behind it, you can see the slope. That's where we'll put the terracing.

Dead-headed these rhodos this morning. It's a chore I like to get done before it's possible to damage the new shoots when they appear.
Didn't have time to clear up the fallen blooms afterwards as it started raining.
