Apply weedkiller as soon as growth has recommenced, before the weeds have

There really are verygood reasons why one does not see "wild gardens" or
"alpine lawns" in tiny suburban gardens except ones produced by neglect.

Franz, I think you're over-reacting!

She's talking about things like primroses and red campion. They're not
going to cause a problem to neighbours. Less than, say, Leycestria
formosa, some of the euphorbias, cotoneaster etc belonging to her
neighbour will cause to her.


Why do you think cotoneaster will cause her problems? I have one which I
keep trimmed back but I hadn't thought of it in that way
