Over the years I have planted bits of plants I liked the look of, but

inch piece stolen from a big garden!
What plants have others regretted introducing into their gardens?


Can't believe no one's mentioned mint. It broke out of a concrete
planter and was everywhere before we'd seen.

Tell me!
When I mow the lawn I enjoy the fresh minty odour wafting up.
I thought a line of bricks would hold it back.

One small root carried home from a walk in the Yorkshire Dales...


Will we never learn...

Actually that's the upside of the mint, I really enjoy mowing and
strimming it. Now if only it would stay out of the beds.
