Caporegime
Finally an opportunity to break out the slip n slide. My 43 year old body is slightly broken and recovering with a healing gin and tonic.

I've done the annual big jetwash but there are black marks I can't get off...
Any idea what this is an how I might get it off? All I can think is I have fertilised the lawn but not like a drunk person so I don't believe I've gone this mad...

It might be black mould. First thing I would try is a scrubbing brush and water. If that doesn't work then add a cleaning product that is safe for your stones, maybe Patio Magic if safe.
just trim off the dead ends, the rest of it looks healthy enough.Only our second year in a new house / garden we planted a couple of blueberry plants last year and one of them has suddenly looked like it’s dying at some branch ends.
Image below any ideas?
Everything else about it looks fine, flowers and leaves look healthy.
how much of the garden will that also kill?
Been doing it by hand!! Going to have to look more into it but don’t know where to start!
Coming along nicely
going to need some weed treatment when it’s safe to do so.

Just lovely sitting in the hot tub looking at the garden. This weather has really helped it grow.
probably nothing if you don’t do it on a sunny day like today, are careful where you spray it, dilute it to the correct ratio and throughly rinse it

Probably none, I’ve used barely diluted bleach and it didn’t affect any plants next to it. It really works on the patio, ours was terrible, lots of black and yellow lichen along with moss, it cleaned them up and stopped any of it growing back.

That's his dad. He looks even younger!
Black spots and marks on patio and pavement is normally lichen
Two of my sheds are starting to look the worse for wear so I took the afternoon off and chucked some wood stain at them..
Couldn't be arsed painting the back.
This twisted Hazel needed taming as it was blocking off so much light (that, and I want to see when the pigeons are munching on my veg garden, so I can shoot the bloody things)..
The chicken area was completely over grown, so put the strimmer to use and ran the mower over it..
I've only one chook left and when it dies I won't get anymore, so will fill that area with bee friendly flowers and leave it to nature.
There was a hornet in one of the sheds I painted, and it was making a nest, so that go bashed down.
