A previous thread had the guts of a good discussion on people's different

My Garden is for my pleasure and that fact that the birds and bees like
it
is a bye product. I do think that the weeds feel they have been subjected
to
unfair control and claim I am not working with Nature.

I leave quite a few ' weeds' to grow in my garden because I see them as
just wild flowers. Don't know the name of some of them but one is the
creeping buttercup. I have another yellow flowering wild plant and a
tall pink one, also some huge daisies. Anyway isn't a weed anything
which is growing where you don't want it too?

So long as it flowers it is pretty safe in my garden Rupert :-) I am
just madly in love with nature full stop.

I took a liking to Borage and allowed it to seed freely.
I spent several hours today digging out just a few plants with roots as
thick as my arm. Bloody stuff I *shall* control it .
Would you like a few seeds of Borage or Comfrey, perchance you might like
some Sasa Bamboo:-)
