Hullo!

Would ferns count as weeds? Do they prolifirate aggressively? If I
plant a lot of ferns in a garden will my neighbours be mad at me? Will
the ferns spread to my neighbours? I like fern-coated trees but if
they destroy neighbours' gardens I don't like them so much anymore.

Are there different kinds of ferns, some of which are suitable for
gardening and some of which are not?

Best,



They are only likely to grow well in the wetter west of the country and I
like ferns so would never count them as weeds, mind you they are not
allowed within 3' of Clematis!
