Am I alone in thinking that gardening, at least judging from Chelsea
this year, is following food in being treated as something that should
have an arty touch? Food has become so dressed up that I can't tell what
I'm supposed to be eating and what is just decoration. I much prefer my
meals to be like meat-and-two-veg as they used to be. Quite what the
equivalent is in gardening I'm not sure, but I'm not against a few weeds
occasionally: dandelions and daisies are quite pretty plants, after all!

I expect that Yes I am alone, here at any rate!

No! I leave them in areas where I can. They grow through things in the 'wild' garden and
are very pretty. We pay a fortune for multi-petalled golden yellow daisy flowers, yet we
have dandelions...

Yes, I know they can be thugs but so can our expensive purchases, as I have found to my
cost sometimes.
